=**Swahili's Physical Features**=

Climate
Swahili lies below the equator, because of that, the coolest months occur during the northern hemisphere’s summer, and all-year round the weather remains pleasant and comfortable. Between June to October, temperatures range from around 10°C in the northern highlands to about 23°C on the coast. On the plains and the lower-altitude game reserves, the temperatures from June to October are warm and mild. On the coast, these months are some of the most pleasant to sail, with [|balmy], sunny weather much of the day and cooling ocean breezes at night.

From December to March, the days are hot and sunny with often not a cloud in the sky. Temperatures range from the 20's to the 30's throughout the country. In the late afternoons, the beautiful sunsets can be seen which has brought many [|merchants]. On the shores of the Swahili Coast, the Indian Ocean reaches its highest temperatures and is ideal for sailing at any time. The Swahili is located on Highlands 1000 feet or more above sea level.
