Walvis Bay in June

Great time to visit

Winter arrives with cooler temperatures but still pleasant days once the morning fog clears. Great for activities if you don't mind bundling up.

Weather

June ushers in winter with cooler temperatures and the possibility of morning fog rolling in from the ocean. Days remain sunny once the fog lifts, but you'll need layers. Expect completely dry conditions.

  • Pack warm clothes for early morning tours
  • Seafood is at its peak during winter months

All Months

April through September offers the best weather, with clear skies and minimal wind. This is Namibia's winter, meaning daytime temperatures hover around 20-25°C while nights can drop to 10°C. The flamingo populations peak during these months, making wildlife viewing spectacular. October through March brings summer heat and occasional fog, plus stronger winds that can disrupt boat tours. But summer also means fewer crowds and lower accommodation prices. The desert climate means very little rain year-round. Plan your visit around the full moon if possible – night desert tours become magical under moonlight. Book accommodations well ahead during peak season (June-August), as options are limited.
