 What’s the weather like in Andasibe?
The weather of Andasibe is quite humid all year round. Basically, it has two seasons: warmer rainy season and cooler dry season. The rainy season mainly falls between November and March. The weather during this time can be highly unstable. Heavy rain always falls without hint. The dry season is from April to October; however, the air is not very dry thanks to the dense forest. No matter when you come, the daily temperature difference is quite distinct due to the high altitude. At night, sensible temperature in Andasibe can be much lower, so you need to dress more accordingly. 

During this time, rainfall is rather low, making it a good time to explore the vast rainforests in Andasibe and trace wild lives including lemurs living inside. The road condition is relatively good, providing an easy access here. In September and October, you will also have a high chance to meet baby lemurs. 

However, July to August, the summer holiday in most northern countries, contribute to the peak season in Andasibe. If you plan to come in the summer vacation of 2025, book your accommodations and planes tickets as early as possible. The neighboring June and September can be a little busier, as well.

Generally, summer clothes are enough in Andasibe, like a short-sleeve t-shirt plus a thin overcoat. It takes several hours to hike in Andasibe rainforests. Visitors usually sweat a lot during this process. If you wear improper clothes, it’s very easy to catch a cold. Thus, you need to wear comfortable and breathable quick-dry clothes. Also to protect your skin from the bites of mosquitoes and other insects, long-sleeved tops and pants are advised. For shoes, comfortable sneakers or hiking boots are best choices.
 
Other things to Pack:
1. Enough sunscreen cream is vital for your trip. And if possible, take a cap with you.
2. Bring anti-mosquito repellent cream and mentholated balm.
3. A raincoat is another indispensable item that needs to be in your bag. Umbrella is not suggested because it’s not convenient in dense forests.
4. Take long socks because they help absorb your sweat while hiking. You may also need to put your trouser legs into the socks to stay away from insects bites. 
5. You may take a small neck fan to stay cool.
