The climate of Maroantsetra (Madagascar)
Maroantsetra is a small coastal town located in the northwestern part
of Madagascar in the province of Analanjirofo. The best way to reach
the city is by air because there are no proper roads to the city. Most
tourists that travel here come to go diving in the lagoons and coral
reefs to see the treasures of the underwater world. From the beach you
can spot humpback whales. Maroantsetra is often used as a starting
point to travel to one of the smaller islands that can be found off
the coast. Just like most of the cities on the east coast Maroantsetra
has a tropical rainforest climate characterized by high precipitation
figures almost all year round. Only in September and October
precipitation figures are slightly lower. Temperatures are pleasantly
warm all year round; 25-30 degrees Celsius. There is a risk of
tropical storms and hurricanes.

More climate information
Climate figures are very useful but don’t present a general impression
of the climate and the eventual weather circumstances within a certain
period. The figures don’t always reflect the chance of wintry weather,
extreme heat or hurricanes. That is why we offer useful extra climate
information for each month of the year:
