Mozambique
Southern Coast Mozambique
The Souithern Coast of Mozambique is between the capital city of Maputo and the Kosi Bay/South Africa border. Warmed by the Indian Ocean current moving south from the equator, the country's clear waters and subtropical climate provides travellers with an enticing welcoming beachside escape. Mozambique enjoys a tropical climate, with plenty of sunshine throughout the year. The average temperature is around 28C and the weather along the coast is sunny and warm, even in mid-Winter. The country has two seasons; a wet season (from October to March) and a dry season (from April to September) - with very little variation in temperatures between the two.
