Bring Your Shorts

What do you think the weather is like in Congo? What kind of clothes are you going to pack?

Yes, It's hot! It's always hot! But it's not really much hotter than some places in the U.S. Usually it's between 90 and 105 degrees, though it's a little cooler in shady places and at night.

There's a dry season and a rainy season. In the dry season, they might get rain once a week or maybe only once a month. Because it's so dry, the temperature doesn't feel as hot. In the rainy season it rains every day. Then it feels really hot because of the humidity in the air.
