What is the overall climate: is it extremely hot or cold, wet or dry, at any time of year, for example?
Just south of the equator and at slight elevation, the weather is pretty consistent throughout the year (80s during the day and 70s at night). It gets much cooler away from Bujumbura – in the hills – in the evenings, which is really nice if you need a break from the city heat. - Aug 2023
