SUMMER 
●Summer (solstice)begins in December 22 or 23.

●The weather is hot,humid and dry during this season, and the temperature can rise extremely high in a certain place,as the earth tilts itself towards the sun.

●As the sun shines brightly in summer  this season is suitable for farmers to prepare for cultivation and we get many seasonal fruits and vegetables. 

●It has longest day and shortest night. 

Here are some pictures how summer season looks like.





During summer months the Zambezi has an average of 8-10 rainy days a month, whilst during the months of June to August hardly any precipitation is received.
