What to pack for Somalia in the summer

In the summer months in Somalia, it is essential to bring lightweight and breathable clothing to combat the high temperatures and humidity.

Loose-fitting garments made of natural fabrics such as cotton or linen are ideal to stay cool and comfortable in the hot weather.

It is recommended to pack long-sleeved shirts and long pants to protect against the sun and insects, as well as a wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses for added sun protection. Footwear should be sturdy and comfortable for walking on uneven terrain, such as sandals or lightweight sneakers.

Additionally, a light jacket or shawl may be useful for cooler evenings or air-conditioned buildings.

In the summer, Somalia experiences a hot and dry climate with temperatures ranging from 80 to 100 degrees Fahrenheit.

The region is typically characterized by clear skies, strong winds, and very little rainfall, leading to drought conditions and water scarcity.

The arid landscape creates harsh living conditions for locals, particularly in rural areas where agriculture is heavily reliant on the limited availability of water.
