Angola’s average temperatures are 27 ° C maximum and 17 ° C minimum.
Hydrographic
The hydrographical characteristics of Angola are directly related to altitude since the rivers flow downstream from the plateau zone and mountain ridge to the lower areas.
The biggest and most navigable river is the Kwanza, measuring 1,000 km. The primary hydrographical basins are the rivers Kwanza (the largest), Zaire, Mbridge, Queve, Cunene and Cuando.
