By November, summer has almost arrived in Namibia and temperatures are beginning to reach their highest, averaging around 30 degrees during the daytime and up to highs in the mid-40’s in desert regions.

November is still usually a dry month, with the rains typically arriving in force in December. The occasional afternoon storm in November may freshen the air as the skies clear into the evening.

November marks the start of low season for travel to Namibia and many of Namibia’s safari camps and hotels have special deals at this time of year and many simply close up for the season.

Game viewing in Namibia is at it’s best during the winter months as game is increasingly attracted to waterholes as more regular water supplies begin to dry up. Vegetation is also sparser in the summer, allowing for easier game viewing. November sees much of Namibia parched and dry, awaiting the summer rains.

Self-drives in Namibia during the winter months are very popular as most of the roads in the country are free from flooding.

Namibia’s coastal regions see a climatic pattern similar to the rest of the country but with greater influence from land and sea air currents. A particular feature of this are vast fog banks which can spread tens of kilometres inland.
