Long term climatology profiles based on standardized NASA POWER representative point measurements
Review long term monthly climate normals for Zomba Plateau, including average temperature, daily precipitation, relative humidity, wind speed, and daylight hours. These data represent a single coordinate at an elevation of 691.37 meters, averaged over the 1991 to 2020 period. Monthly patterns reflect annual shifts in atmospheric conditions without implying local microclimate variation across the broader landscape.

See two months side by side and how much they differ. Both use the same 1991–2020 climate normals and NASA POWER data point as the table above, so they show typical conditions, not a forecast.
