Weather

Madagascar's lush coastal areas have that warm, wet tropical feel, with regular rain year round, while still managing a good amount of sunshine during the day. Temperatures on the coast are fairly moderate, usually peaking above 30°C (86°F) in summer with only slight seasonal fluctuation. The average temperature drops as you head inland to the central plateau, as does the amount of rainfall, except from December to March, which sees a very stormy wet season. This same period can get unbearably hot in the west/southwest.
