Weather by Month

January is cool and dry with average highs around 27°C and lows dipping to 16°C. Rainfall is minimal (7 mm), making it an ideal month for wildlife safaris and outdoor exploration.

February remains dry with slightly warmer days reaching 30°C and nights at 17°C. Precipitation increases a bit to 30 mm, but overall conditions are pleasant for park visits.

March sees rising temperatures with highs of 32°C and lows of 18°C, and moderate rainfall of 26 mm. The heat begins to build, but mornings and evenings are still comfortable for game drives.

April is the hottest month with average highs of 33°C and warm nights at 21°C. Rainfall is relatively low at 22 mm, and the dry conditions concentrate wildlife around water sources.

May continues hot with highs of 31°C and lows of 21°C, but pre-monsoon showers increase precipitation to 72 mm. Humidity rises, and the park remains lush but wildlife sightings may be less predictable.

June marks the onset of the southwest monsoon, bringing heavy rainfall of 165 mm and cooler highs of 27°C. The park becomes verdant, but many trails may be muddy and less accessible.

July is wet with significant rainfall of 117 mm, though slightly less than June. Temperatures remain steady around 27°C (highs) and 20°C (lows), creating a cool, damp environment ideal for lush vegetation but challenging for safaris.

August continues the monsoon with 105 mm of rain and the coolest highs of the year at 26°C. The forest is at its greenest, but wildlife viewing is often limited due to dense foliage and wet conditions.

September sees rainfall tapering to 92 mm, with highs of 27°C and lows of 19°C. The park remains lush, and as the monsoon retreats, visibility gradually improves toward month's end.

October is the wettest month with 208 mm of rain, though temperatures stay moderate (highs 27°C, lows 19°C). Heavy downpours can disrupt travel, and the park is best avoided for safaris during this period.

November marks the transition to dry season with rainfall dropping sharply to 23 mm. Days warm up to 29°C and nights cool to 18°C, making it a pleasant time to resume wildlife viewing as the park dries out.

December is cool and dry with highs of 28°C and lows of 15°C, and only 14 mm of rain. This is one of the best months for comfortable safaris and clear wildlife sightings.
