Gore Climate Guide, Ethiopia | World Climate Guide

Solid B+. Summer (it's in N. hemisphere) is surprisingly cold.

Very interesting that winter is warmer than summer. Is this a unique case or are there any other places that have this type of pattern too? How bizarre!

Anyway.... F-

A-

Very nice. Too wet in summer, but I like how the dry months still get a notable amount of precipitation. I think I would rather have a bit of variation of UV.

That summer pattern is odd indeed. I wonder if areas higher up have the same temperature curve?

If so... This would be that weird Mediterranean zone that's always showing up on Koppen maps in Ethipoia!

Thanks so much, Candle, for leading me closer to an enduring mystery.

As for the climate, definitely an B+ good temperatures year-around, a little too cool and wet in ''summer'' though ( in fact it kind of begs the question: in this kind of climate, what counts as summer? )

It exists in some tropical climates immediately equator-side of the great deserts have this, especially in Africa:

Juba - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Monrovia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Typically ( as in Gore ) the minimums don't decline more than a degree or two, but the wet weather seriously depresses the maximums.

What makes Gore intriguing to me is that the high altitude vears this towards being a temperate-subtropical climate, making the weird summer-winters more, well, wintery.

B. The rainfall could be more evenly distributed, and a little more variety in temperatures would be nice, but it's mostly good.

Year round high UV is the big negative.

A, lots of good qualities but not perfect, not liking the breezy wet season...
