Climate overview

Temperature

Monthly mean temperatures reach their high point in April, at 28.2 °C, and their low point in August, at 24.9 °C. The unweighted mean of the monthly means is 26.4 °C. These are monthly averages, not daytime highs, so they do not describe the range of temperatures visitors may experience within a day.

Rain

Mean daily rainfall is highest in May, at 2.43 mm/day, and lowest across January / February, at 0.06 mm/day. The unweighted mean across monthly values is 1.10 mm/day. These are daily averages, not monthly totals, and they do not show how often rain falls or guarantee dry conditions in the months with the lowest mean.

Sunshine

Mean daily sunshine duration is highest in March, at 11.34 hours/day, and lowest in July, at 10.85 hours/day. The unweighted mean across the monthly sunshine means is 11.12 hours/day. These figures describe average sunshine duration, not daylight length or the amount of sunshine guaranteed on a particular day.

Best Travel Time Guide for Mogadishu, Somalia: Ideal Seasons and Weather Insights

For visitors prioritising lower average rainfall, January / February are a conditional option: mean daily rainfall is 0.06 mm/day. That average does not guarantee rain-free days or indicate how frequently rain occurs, so retain flexible plans rather than treating it as a promise of dry weather. Rain preparation is especially relevant for May, when mean daily rainfall reaches 2.43 mm/day; this is still a daily mean, not a monthly total or a forecast for your travel dates. Visitors prioritising cooler monthly averages can consider August, with a monthly mean temperature of 24.9 °C, while remembering that this does not specify daytime highs or daily temperature variation.

For planning outdoor sightseeing around average sunshine duration, March has the highest mean daily value at 11.34 hours/day, while July has the lowest at 10.85 hours/day. Sunshine duration is not day length, and monthly averages cannot establish the conditions on a particular date; rainfall, cooler-average and sunshine criteria therefore point to separate considerations rather than one universal best time to visit.
