Eswatini

In Eswatini, a small country bordering South Africa and Mozambique, mountainous in the west and hilly in the east, the climate varies mainly with altitude. Throughout the country, there is a rainy season from mid-October to mid-April and a dry season from mid-April to mid-October, but in the western area, where the altitude is higher, rainfall is more abundant. The rains occur primarily as showers or thunderstorms in the afternoon. The austral winter is dry and sunny everywhere.
The altitude determines three areas with different climates and environments: Highveld, Middle Veld and Lowveld.

In the west, we find the Highveld, crossed by the Drakensberg Mountains, at an altitude between 800 and 1,800 meters. Here, the climate is temperate, with cold nights in winter. Being that it's a humid area, we find forests, rivers and waterfalls. In summer, it can sometimes get hot during the day, but nights remain cool, while in winter, the night temperature can drop below freezing (0°C). The rainfall amounts to 1,000/2,000 millimeters per year.

The Middle Veld lies in the center of the country, between 400 and 800 meters above sea level. Here, the temperature is slightly higher: in winter, the weather is pleasant during the day, it gets cold at night but the risk of frost is lower. On the contrary, summer is hot, sometimes very hot, with peaks near 40°C.

The Lowveld is found in the east, between 100 and 400 meters, and it's characterized by a warmer climate and a landscape dominated by the savannah. During winter, nights can be cold, with a wide daily temperature range. Summer is humid and uncomfortably hot. Rainfall in the Lowveld is even lower, and amounts to around 500/900 mm per year.
