What the Lusaka climate table shows

Values are multi-decadal climatological averages for the -15.4067, 28.2871 grid cell, not a single year. Rain is the daily mean, so a value of 2.00 mm/day is about 60 mm across a 30-day month. Averages smooth over extremes, so use them for planning rather than for what to pack for next Tuesday.

Frequently asked questions

Why do the numbers differ from a weather app?

An app shows one location on one day. These are long-run averages, so they smooth out single hot or cold spells.

How much rain is 6.69 mm/day in a month?

Rain is recorded as a daily mean, so 6.69 mm/day is roughly 203 mm across a 30-day month.
