Best time to go
Malawi is a year round destination but some activities are better at different times of the year. The heaviest rain falls generally between February and March and windy season on the lake tends to be around June / July.
The lake is calmest and best for snorkeling and diving between November and March which is also the hottest time of year. May - July can be quite cool and very cold indeed in the highlands.
