June weather forecast
Tanzania

June heralds the onset of the long dry season in Tanzania, signifying a marked decrease in rainfall, often falling below 50mm (1.97"). This drop in precipitation leads to more predictable weather, making it an ideal time for outdoor activities, including wildlife safaris and mountain climbing.

As the dry season begins, temperatures start to decrease slightly. In coastal regions and the islands of Zanzibar, Pemba, and Mafia, the typical temperature range is from 25°C (77°F) to 30°C (86°F). The northern and southern highlands, which include areas around the Serengeti and Mbeya, experience milder temperatures, typically between 18°C (64.4°F) and 23°C (73.4°F).

In Dar es Salaam, the city experiences a decrease in temperatures due to its coastal location, though it remains relatively warm with average temperatures around 30°C (86°F). Dodoma, located in the central region of the country, continues to witness semi-arid conditions with June temperatures typically varying between 18°C (64.4°F) to 28°C (82.4°F).

Compared to May, June sees a substantial drop in rainfall and a slight decrease in temperature as the dry season sets in. The onset of the dry season makes it a favourable period for wildlife viewing, particularly in the northern and southern safari circuits. The decrease in vegetation density and scarcity of water sources lead to increased animal sightings near rivers and waterholes. Thus, June is generally considered a good time to visit Tanzania for wildlife enthusiasts and adventure seekers.
