| Climate: Angola's climate varies considerably from
the coast to the central plateau and even between the north coast and
the south coast. The north, from Cabinda to Ambriz, has a damp
tropical climate. The region that begins a little to the north of
Luanda and extends to Mocamedes, the Malanje region, and the eastern
strip has a moderate tropical climate. Damp conditions prevail south
of Mocamedes, dry conditions in the central plateau zone, and a desert
climate in the southern strip between the plateau and the frontier
with Namibia. There are two seasons: a dry, cool season from June to
late September, and a rainy, hot season from October to the end of May.
The average temperature is 20C (68F); average maximum temperatures
during the hot season do not exceed 26C (79F). The Benguela Current
makes the coastal regions arid or semiarid. The annual rainfall is
about 8 inches in the southwest, increasing to 80 inches in the
