Kahama in January

January in Kahama: average highs of 28°C, lows of 18°C and 11 hours of sunshine a day. A starting point for planning around the historical weather.

January in Kahama, Tanzania, brings average daily highs of 28°C and overnight lows of 18°C in the 2016–2025 historical record. Light clothing is a useful starting point, with room in the plan to pause indoors. Decide how much walking to fit into each day using the local forecast, rather than treating the monthly average as a limit.

In the record, at least 1 mm of rain or snow falls on 18 of 31 days on average, a daily chance of 57%. Make flexibility part of the trip from the outset. Keep time outside easy to rearrange and choose plans that still work if it rains. The monthly figures do not establish whether rain is brief, prolonged or concentrated at a particular time.

The calculated day length, sunrise to sunset, averages about 12 hours. Sunshine averages 11 hours a day. Use the daylight window to plan the length of excursions, and check local sunrise and sunset times for the dates of your stay. Sunshine is a separate measure, and those hours need not arrive in one uninterrupted stretch.

Start with the places you most want to visit, then keep the order flexible enough to suit the weather. Check current opening hours and local transport before fixing long day trips. The climate record can help with pacing and packing, but it does not describe what is open during your stay.

February has an average daily high of 29°C, 1°C higher than January. Its historical rain-day chance is 44%, compared with 57% this month. If your dates are flexible, compare those trade-offs with the kind of days you want. Neither set of averages predicts the conditions of one particular holiday.
