Rwanda is currently in the dry season, which explains the prevailing sunny conditions.
However, Meteo Rwanda predicts an increase in soil moisture during the second and third weeks of August due to anticipated rainfall in those periods.
The first week of August will see typical dry season weather with sunny days, though some regions will experience light rainfall. The forecasted rainfall for August ranges from 0 to 60 millimeters. Specifically, in the western parts of Musanze and Nyabihu districts, the eastern part of the Rubavu district, and a small part of northern Ngororero, rainfall is expected to range between 40 and 60 millimeters.
In contrast, smaller areas such as Nyungwe National Park, Rutsiro district, Ngororero, central parts of Rubavu and Musanze districts, and the northern part of Burera district can expect rainfall between 20 and 40 millimeters. Meteo Rwanda emphasized that this amount of rainfall is typical for August.
Temperature-wise, daytime highs are forecasted to range between 20 and 30 degrees Celsius, while nighttime lows are expected to be between 6 and 14 degrees Celsius. These temperatures are within the usual range for this time of year.
Additionally, wind speeds are anticipated to increase compared to previous months, especially in the Western Province, where strong winds are expected.
