 Climate and Seasons

Sulawesi lies along the equator (three of the four provinces: the Centre, South and South-East lie in the Southern Hemisphere), and is characterized by virtually equal length nights and days. There is very little variation during the year. The sun rises and sets very quickly, dawn and dusk are virtually nonexistent. Temperatures are generally stable over the twelve months of the year, at roughly 30°C, although they drop sharply at high altitudes. In addition, the very mountainous landscape of the island generates variations characterised by the level of precipitation, with the terrain tending to retain rain. The South and South-East regions are relatively dry, whereas the Centre and North regions are markedly wetter. Meanwhile, given the direction of the dominant winds and the orientation of certain geographical features in relation to the winds, there is often more rain on the eastern side of the island than the western side.
Generally, the humid (and hot) season runs from November to March (roads are wet and movement difficult), while the dry (and "cool") season extends from May to August or September.
