5 African Countries Where Snow Falls

Here are five countries in Africa where it snows:

Contrary to popular belief, Africa experiences snowfall in many of its countries and cities.

It's a common misconception that snow doesn't occur in Africa due to its tropical climate. However, there are numerous regions where snowfall is a regular occurrence.

1. Lesotho
The country of Lesotho borders South Africa and it is quite cold and it snows a lot. The peak of winter lasts from June until August. During winter, temperatures can be very low and can reach 0 degrees Celsius.

2. South Africa
South Africa has a unique climate. This country typically experiences freezing winters, with temperatures as low as -16 degrees Celsius because of its location near the South Pole. Winter lasts from June to August in some regions.

3. Morocco
This African country is closest to the European country of Spain. Additionally, the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean encircle it. Winter temperatures can range from as low as -5 degree Celsius to -8 degree Celsius, depending on the zone. It usually snows between December and February.

4. Uganda
Rwenzori Mountain is situated along Uganda's border with the Central African Republic.

The mountain is so cold it has glaciers, snow and ice. Temperatures usually range from 20 degrees Celsius to -5 degrees or lower.

5. Tanzania
The tallest mountain in Africa is Kilimanjaro, Tanzania. The mountain became cooler than the rest of Africa as a result of the equatorial trade winds and high-altitude anti-trades. On the top, it can get as cold as -15 to -29 degrees Celsius. It happens more often in June, July, August, and September.

Why is no one rating our own snow in portharcourt, is it because ours is uniquely black and not white?

Damnnn niggar

Anywhere that is high above ten thousand feet is likely to see snow

If at all snow want fall for Nigeria na Jos

I can't bet my balls on Benin city

Seagodess:
There's one village in the Edo state..(ososo) in akoko edo precisely..I once visited there with some tourists.. Snow falls there once in a while.

Hmmmm
I won't argue with you though

Because those Edo north is one funny region in Edo state....
When i was travelling to abuja by car those areas took forever to drive out of Edo land..Edo state is too big
even the Benin city self got different rains and sunshine that are not normal
Those Edo north are the reason why I always use car for travelling to abuja because it is very fun seeing the area but the bad road now in ekpoma to auchi is dangerous with too many big vehicles on the road
