The
climate of Zanzibar is dominated by the movements of the Indian Ocean monsoons,
and characterised by wet and dry seasons. The Northeast Monsoons blow from
November/December to February/March, and the Southwest Monsoons blow from June
to September/October. The main rains fall from mid-March to the end of May, and
there is a short rainy season in November. Humidity is generally quite high,
although this can be relieved by winds and sea breezes. Temperatures do not vary
greatly throughout the year, with daytime averages around 26C (80F) on Zanzibar
Island from June to October, and around 28C from December to February. Pemba
tends to be cooler and get slightly more rain than Zanzibar Island.
