June weather forecast
Zambia

June is characterized by a complete cessation of rainfall across Zambia, signaling a full immersion into the dry season. There is virtually no precipitation, making it one of the driest months of the year. The entire country, from the northernmost regions like the Northern Province to the southern areas, experiences this drought period.

Temperatures in June start to fall noticeably, especially during the early mornings and evenings. The country experiences average temperatures as low as 9°C (48.2°F) in the mornings and evenings, while the daytime temperatures hover around a comfortable 24°C (75.2°F). Lusaka, the capital city, experiences similar temperature averages, with virtually no rainfall.

When compared to May, June experiences further cooling, particularly noticeable in the mornings and evenings, and there continues to be virtually no rainfall. This dry and cool trend persists into July. Despite the absence of rains, the landscape, particularly in regions like Luangwa Valley, remains somewhat green due to the substantial rainfall of the preceding months.

Even though June falls within Zambia's warm season, it is not one of the hottest months. The absence of rain and the mild temperatures make this a perfect time for outdoor activities such as wildlife safaris. Animals are more likely to congregate around the remaining water sources, making sightings more predictable and frequent.

Given the dry conditions, travel across the country becomes much more manageable, with good road conditions even in rural areas. However, the chilly morning and evening temperatures necessitate that travelers pack appropriate warm clothing for their Zambian adventure in June.
