6 Days Marangu Route Kilimanjaro Climbing in June Weather
June is one of the best months to climb Mount Kilimanjaro because it normally brings the beginning of the long dry season. Daytime temperatures stay mild, generally ranging between 15°C and 27°C at lower elevations, while temperatures become much colder higher up. Near the summit, temperatures may fall below -20°C, especially during the early-morning summit attempt.
June Conditions from Moshi to Uhuru Peak
Weather changes considerably with altitude. Moshi can have comfortable daytime conditions, while the rainforest is cooler and sometimes damp. Above the forest, conditions become drier and colder. In the alpine desert, temperatures can fall close to freezing, and the summit may range from about 0°C during the day to approximately -7°C to -23°C around summit time.
June is considered one of the best times to climb Kilimanjaro, as the weather is generally dry and warm at lower levels. However, as you climb higher, the temperature drops about 2°C for every 300 metres of elevation gain. Prepare for changing conditions by carrying suitable layers and warm summit clothing.
