There's some truth in the old Ethiopian Tourism Commission slogan '13
Months of Sunshine'. Although the famed historical circuit and the rest
of the highlands receives rain between mid-March and September, most
days during this period still see their fair share of sunshine. The far
east and northern highlands see even more sun with significant rain
only falling in July and August. The mercury rarely pokes its nose
above the 30°C (86°F) mark during the day and plunges sometimes to
almost freezing at night.
