Lake Chilwa monthly climate across its endorheic freshwater-wetland landscape

Lake Chilwa’s sampled mean temperature is 18.18 °C in July and 26.96 °C in November. Daily precipitation averages 0.26 mm in September and 10.69 mm in January, while humidity measures 51.26% in October and 81.89% in March. NASA POWER provides the 1991–2020 record, including wind and daylight, for one 691.37 m coordinate rather than live weather, a forecast, or uniform conditions across the protected area.
