Ethiopia’s climate is typically very mild.
The highlands, covering most of the country, experience a pleasant year-round average of 16C, the elevation ensuring even summer highs are a balmy 25C.
The lowlands are hot, tipping 40C. Nights are cold and at higher altitudes jumpers are needed..
The heaviest rains traditionally fall June to early October, making the rest of the year a prime time to visit. Directly after the rains the highlands are wonderfully green, covered with wildflowers and sublime for trekking.
