Wetter in Gonder im März

Simien Mountains-forum threads on a March visit describe the landscape as genuinely parched by this point, posters naming five rainless months as the reason grasses have browned compared with the lush look later in the year. Regulars call the greenest stretch genuinely May through September, several posters naming peak lushness running September through January, well before a March visit. Posters call bushes and trees genuinely still green year-round despite browner grasses, several regulars naming this a real distinction worth knowing. Regulars call March still genuinely worthwhile regardless of the drier look, one trekker from a March visit calling the experience wonderful despite the parched terrain. Posters recommend real sun protection, several regulars calling this standard given how exposed and dry conditions get. The record: 25C days, 12.7C nights, effectively no measurable precipitation and 30 percent humidity.

Ethiopia forum posters note that Gondar's roughly 7,000-foot elevation keeps it noticeably more comfortable in May than the lowland Danakil, which is hitting its hottest stretch at the same time. March through May brings the unpredictable 'little rains,' but multiple posters described the pattern as mostly sunny with occasional short showers rather than a proper wet season, which lines up with the real humidity here staying low. Air conditioning isn't something you'll need at this altitude even with daytime highs in the upper 20s C - a light jacket for the cooler evenings is more useful than anything for the heat.

Forum posters consistently name November as one of the best weather months in Ethiopia, with posters specifically noting there's no rain to speak of at this point and the countryside is still lushly green from the tail end of the wet season - a real bonus for sightseeing around Gondar's castles and churches without either mud underfoot or dust in the air. Posters generally rate November and December together as Ethiopia's best season overall, positioning a November visit to the historic north (Gondar commonly paired with Bahir Dar, the Simien Mountains and Axum) as a favorable time weather-wise compared to earlier in the year. Posters consistently recommend this window specifically for good visibility and comfortable sightseeing conditions across the northern circuit.
