Congo-Kinshasa climate overview
The Equator crosses the north of Congo-Kinshasa and gives its two distinct bands of weather. In the north, heavy rains occur between March and November while, in the south, the rains come between October and May. Areas close to the equator have two wet seasons and so, effectively, experience rain all year round.
Surprisingly, it's tiny Atlantic coastline has less rain than inland areas. Whichever part of the country you're in, you'll find that both temperatures and humidity levels are high and sunshine is a scarce commodity. Southern districts are the sunniest.
What to pack for Congo-Kinshasa
