Climate Rating: Swakopmund, Namibia (warm, temperatures, rainfall, season)

[Derek40]

See:
Swakopmund Climate Guide, Namibia | World Climate Guide

Can be interchanged between metric and imperial measurements.
This is one of the so-called mild desert climates, rainfall is negligible, sunshine hours are an acceptable 2400 hours +, reduced due to ocean fog.
Ocean temperatures are a little on the cool side.
Not totally fussed on the spring temps, especially September being the same as August.
Nevertheless this climate demands an A from me, as it is a temperate climate at a tropical latitude.

I give it a B as it is still acceptable for most of the year with very mild winters.

The effect of the Benguela current is evident here. I give this a B+. Temps are endlessly mild and comfortable. I don't imagine I'd be doing much swimming though.

I'm not sure what I'd give this really, like a dry English summer all year round. Sounds very comfortable in theory but boring in practice, plus I wouldn't like the arid landscapes. If I never wanted to see cold weather again I'd prefer a tropical highland climate or somewhere like Port Elizabeth or Whangarei to this. I'll give it a B anyway.

[dunno what to put here]

I shall give this an E/F (preferably an E). It's way too dry, too 'warm' year round, too sunny, and too dull with hardly anything interesting weatherwise..

B-

Looks nice, but I don't really like desert climates, even though this one is coastal and probably has moderate levels of humidity.

Boring, no heat, and strong seasonal lag.
That's C.

[CairoCanadian]

Pleasant but too cool and far too dry. I'd never feel winter, but missing real summer is a tough trade, especially with the omnipresent dry.

I far prefer the climates farther north, where the current still delivers a cooler, dry season but rain happens, like in northern Angola and thereabouts.

C

Boring and too dry, but comfortable.

C. Nice temps, but 20mm of rainfall just isn't acceptable.
