The high elevation moderates temperatures year-round, and the city's position near the [[Equator]] means that temperatures are very constant from month to month. As such the climate would be [[Oceanic climate|maritime]] if its elevation was not taken into account, as no month is above {{convert|22|C|F}} in mean temperatures. Mid-November to January is a season for occasional rain. The highland climate regions are characterised by dry winters, and this is the dry season in Addis Ababa. During this season the daily maximum temperatures are usually not more than {{convert|23|°C}}, And the night-time minumum temperatures will range from 5°C to 10°C and can drop to freezing. The short rainy season is from February to May. During this period, the difference between the daytime maximum temperatures and the nighttime minimum temperatures is not as great as during other times of the year, with minimum temperatures in the range of {{convert|10|-|15|°C}}. At this time of the year, the city experiences warm temperatures and pleasant rainfall. The long wet season is from June to mid-September; it is the coldest time of the year. This period coincides with summer, but the temperatures are much lower than at other times of year because of the frequent rain and hail and the abundance of cloud cover and fewer hours of sunshine. This time of the year is characterised by dark, chilly and wet days and nights.{{Citation needed|date=November 2016}} The autumn which follows is a transitional period between the wet and dry seasons. The highest temperature on record was {{convert|30.6|C}} 26 February 2019, while the lowest temperature on record was {{convert|0|C}}, recorded on multiple occasions.<ref name=meteoclimat/> {{Weather box |width = auto |location = Addis Ababa (1991-2020, extrems 1898-present) |metric first = y |single line = y |Jan record high C = 28.8 |Feb record high C = 30.6 |Mar record high C = 30.0 |Apr record high C = 30.2 |May record high C = 29.6 |Jun record high C = 29.0 |Jul record high C = 29.1 |Aug record high C = 28.0 |Sep record high C = 25.6 |Oct record high C = 27.1 |Nov record high C = 29.7 |Dec record high C = 26.5 |year record high C = 30.6 |Jan high C = 23.9 |Feb high C = 25.3 |Mar high C = 25.8 |Apr high C = 25.4 |May high C = 25.3 |Jun high C = 23.6 |Jul high C = 21.2 |Aug high C = 20.9 |Sep high C = 21.9 |Oct high C = 23.3 |Nov high C = 23.3 |Dec high C = 23.1 |year high C = 23.6 |Jan mean C = 16.3 |Feb mean C = 17.6 |Mar mean C = 18.6 |Apr mean C = 18.8 |May mean C = 18.8 |Jun mean C = 17.5 |Jul mean C = 16.5 |Aug mean C = 16.4 |Sep mean C = 16.6 |Oct mean C = 16.5 |Nov mean C = 15.9 |Dec mean C = 15.5 |year mean C = 17.1 |Jan low C = 8.6 |Feb low C = 9.9 |Mar low C = 11.6 |Apr low C = 12.2 |May low C = 12.2 |Jun low C = 11.7 |Jul low C = 11.9 |Aug low C = 11.8 |Sep low C = 11.3 |Oct low C = 9.7 |Nov low C = 8.3 |Dec low C = 7.5 |year low C = 10.6 |Jan record low C = 0.0 |Feb record low C = 0.0 |Mar record low C = 0.0 |Apr record low C = 2.5 |May record low C = 4.0 |Jun record low C = 4.2 |Jul record low C = 5.4 |Aug record low C = 5.7 |Sep record low C = 3.9 |Oct record low C = 0.0 |Nov record low C = 0.0 |Dec record low C = 0.0 |year record low C = 0.0 |rain colour = green |Jan rain mm = 13 |Feb rain mm = 30 |Mar rain mm = 58 |Apr rain mm = 82 |May rain mm = 84 |Jun rain mm = 138 |Jul rain mm = 280 |Aug rain mm = 290 |Sep rain mm = 149 |Oct rain mm = 27 |Nov rain mm = 7 |Dec rain mm = 7 |year rain mm = |unit rain days = 0.1 mm |Jan rain days = 3 |Feb rain days = 5 |Mar rain days = 7 |Apr rain days = 10 |May rain days = 10 |Jun rain days = 20 |Jul rain days = 27 |Aug rain days = 26 |Sep rain days = 18 |Oct rain days = 4 |Nov rain days = 1 |Dec rain days = 1 |year rain days = |Jan humidity = 52 |Feb humidity = 51 |Mar humidity = 53 |Apr humidity = 59 |May humidity = 55 |Jun humidity = 68 |Jul humidity = 78 |Aug humidity = 80 |Sep humidity = 75 |Oct humidity = 57 |Nov humidity = 53 |Dec humidity = 53 |year humidity = 62 |Jan sun = 266.6 |Feb sun = 206.2 |Mar sun = 241.8 |Apr sun = 210.0 |May sun = 238.7 |Jun sun = 174.0 |Jul sun = 111.6 |Aug sun = 133.3 |Sep sun = 162.0 |Oct sun = 248.0 |Nov sun = 267.0 |Dec sun = 288.3 |year sun = |Jand sun = 8.6 |Febd sun = 7.3 |Mard sun = 7.8 |Aprd sun = 7.0 |Mayd sun = 7.7 |Jund sun = 5.8 |Juld sun = 3.6 |Augd sun = 4.3 |Sepd sun = 5.4 |Octd sun = 8.0 |Novd sun = 8.9 |Decd sun = 9.3 |yeard sun = 7.0 | source 1 =Météo Climat<ref>{{cite web | url = http://meteo-climat-bzh.dyndns.org/listenormale-1991-2020-1-p65.php | title = Météo Climat stats for Addis Abeba 1991–2020 | publisher = Météo Climat | access-date = 15 October 2017}}</ref><ref name = meteoclimat>{{cite web | url = http://meteo-climat-bzh.dyndns.org/index.php?page=stati&id=1837 | title = Station Addis Abeba | publisher = Météo Climat | language = fr | access-date = 31 March 2019 | archive-date = 24 February 2021 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20210224085328/http://meteo-climat-bzh.dyndns.org/index.php?page=stati&id=1837 | url-status = live }}</ref> |source 2 =[[World Meteorological Organisation]] (rainfall 1981–2010),<ref name=WMO>{{cite web | url = http://worldweather.wmo.int/060/c00162.htm | title = World Weather Information Service – Addis Ababa | access-date = 31 March 2019 | publisher = World Meteorological Organisation | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20131022180728/http://worldweather.wmo.int/060/c00162.htm | archive-date = 22 October 2013 | url-status = live | df = dmy-all}}</ref> [[Deutscher Wetterdienst]] (humidity 1951–1990, and sun 1985–1998)<ref name = DWD>{{cite web | url = https://www.dwd.de/DWD/klima/beratung/ak/ak_634500_kt.pdf | title = Klimatafel von Addis Abeba (Adis Ababa) / Äthiopien | work = Baseline climate means (1961–1990) from stations all over the world | publisher = Deutscher Wetterdienst | language = de | access-date = 31 March 2019 | archive-date = 31 March 2019 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20190331143325/https://www.dwd.de/DWD/klima/beratung/ak/ak_634500_kt.pdf | url-status = live }}</ref> }}
