• Even though Ethiopia is only 6^o north of the Equator, the weather is not as hot as you might think. Temperatures during the winter (November to March) are between 5^oC at night and 28^oC during the day. Much of the country where our projects are situated is at an elevation of 2500 meters, or higher.
  
  
• The precipitation amounts in Ethiopia are highly variable between seasons, and from year to year. The rainy season occurs between June and September, and it rains almost everyday. The dry season occurs between November and April, and many months go by without any rain at all.
