The climate of Toliara (Madagascar)
Toliara is a large coastal town located in the southwestern part of
Madagascar. The city is located in the province of Toliara. During
French colonial times the city was known as Tulear. Most streets still
have French names. The city is seen as the capital of the south and
has really grown over the past few decades; mainly because many people
that used to live in the interior moved to the city. The city has
become increasingly popular among tourists. This is mainly because of
the pleasant climate and the beautiful snow white beaches with palm
trees. The many lagoons are very popular among divers and snorkelers.
Toliara has a steppe climate with longer periods of drought. The
warmest months of the year are also the wettest. This combination
causes humidity figures to be high as well. The temperature of the
water is pleasant all year round. During the first few months of the
year there is a risk of tropical storms and hurricanes. The sun shines
often and exuberantly.

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:
