Лилонгве — погода по месяцам

Forum posters describe April and May as excellent months at nearby Lake Malawi specifically, with pretty warm days, cool mornings that soon warm up, and generally settled conditions as the rains wind down. Posters describe Lilongwe itself as a comfortably Western-oriented capital with a large expat population, split between the bustling Old Town markets and cafes and the more corporate New Town, making it an easy, low-key base for this shoulder-season window. Posters generally recommend layering for the cooler early mornings while expecting pleasantly warm, dry days by mid-morning onward, consistent with May sitting right at the start of Malawi's long dry season.

Forum posters describe November as marking the beginning of Malawi's rainy season, or close to it, with conditions turning consistently hot and nights genuinely uncomfortable until the rains finally arrive and bring some relief. Posters note the rains have traditionally started around mid-November, though they flag this timing has grown noticeably more erratic in recent years. Posters are consistent that December is more solidly within the wet season than November, implying early November can still offer a drier, if hotter, window before the rains properly set in. Posters generally rate November as hot and transitional for Lilongwe, increasingly humid as the month progresses toward the rains, with real year-to-year variability in exactly when they begin.
