When is the best weather to visit Angola?
Normal highs sit between 65°F and 85°F in May, June, July, August and September. Of those, September has the fewest days with rain (8).
That is a measurement, not a recommendation: it counts the months whose normal afternoon high sits between 65°F and 85°F, where a light layer is enough by day.

Has Angola been warmer than normal lately?
2022 averaged 48.0°F, 0.3°F below the 1991-2020 normal of 48.3°F. 1 of the 2 complete years since 2021 ran warmer than the normal.

How does Angola's climate compare?
Angola is warmer than 0 of the other 98 places with their own NOAA record in Indiana, and wetter than 6. Across the 7,247 U.S. stations with normals, its annual mean of 48.3°F is warmer than 33%.
In the Köppen classification computed from these normals, Angola is Dfb: continental, no dry season, warm summer. What the classes mean.

Which places near Angola share this climate record?
16 places have no NOAA station with 1991-2020 normals of their own, and this station is the nearest full record. A place's own climate can differ from these figures, by several degrees where it sits much higher or lower than the station, nearer the coast, or inside a large city's heat; for the larger places the next nearest records are named with their yearly mean, so the spread around them is visible, and places of 50,000 or more have their own page with NOAA's gridded normals.
