All Months
June through October delivers Dar's most tolerable weather. Temperatures hover around 25-28°C with lower humidity and minimal rainfall. The Indian Ocean stays warm for swimming year-round, but this dry season means fewer mosquitoes and clearer skies for photography. March through May brings heavy rains that can flood streets and cancel outdoor plans. December and January are hot and humid - think 32°C with 80% humidity that makes walking feel like swimming through soup. But here's the thing: hotel prices drop 30-40% during rainy season, and the city feels more authentic when it's not packed with safari groups using Dar as a stopover.
