The coast of Angola: weather and temperature
Along Angola’s coast (including parts of Cabinda), the climate ranges from mild desert in the far south to semi-desert around the central coast (where Luanda sits), and becomes more humid toward the northern coast where annual rainfall is higher. Even when rainfall is low, fog, mist, and low cloud can be common—especially during the cooler, drier months.
In Luanda, average temperatures are warm year-round, with the coolest months typically in July–August and the warmest period often from February–April.
