Tanzania's weather agency dropped a heat warning after thermometers hit unusual peaks across multiple regions, with Moshi station clocking 35.7 degrees Celsius and running 4.2 degrees hotter than typical November averages. Ilonga and Morogoro town also logged mid-30s readings while Dar es Salaam pushed past 33 degrees on back-to-back days. Meteorologists blame the overhead sun shifting toward the Tropic of Capricorn, and coastal humidity from ocean evaporation made the temps feel worse.
The authority told people to check forecasts regularly and follow safety advice from health officials because the heat could mess with bodies and the environment. December should bring rain that cools things down in areas with bimodal patterns, but February might bring another spike when the sun reverses direction toward the Tropic of Cancer.
