Why is there snow in Africa?

Answer 1

It snow in few African countries on a un-regular basis in the winter, mostly on the high mountain ranges. It snow in the winter on the Drakensberg Mountains and also on some of the mountains in the Western Cape Province in South Africa.

Snow also on a regular basis on the Atlas Mountain range in northern Africa (Marokko).

Answer 2

Snow in Africa is typically found on mountain peaks with high elevations, such as Kilimanjaro in Tanzania or the Atlas Mountains in Morocco. These areas reach altitudes where temperatures are cold enough to support snowfall, even in a region known for its warm climate. Snow in Africa is rare and often limited to specific mountainous regions.

Answer 3

There are several countries with snow in Africa - Southern Africa has ski resorts in the Drakensburg Mountains, there are small ski resorts in Morocco, Tunisia and Algeria have had snow, there is snow on the mountain tops in Kenya, Tanzania and in Ethiopia (but not enough to ski)
Examples: mountains from South Africa, Kilimandjaro Mountain, Atlas Mountains etc.; extremely rare a snow is possible on the Mediterranean coast.

Answer 4

It wouldn't normally snow in Africa because it is too warm for snow to form there. There are mountains tall enough though, for snow to fall on. The higher you are the colder it becomes. This is why snow can fall on mountains.

Answer 5

Yes, but it is limited to the very tops of the highest mountains such as:

Mt Kenya (Kenya)

Mt Kilimanjaro (Tanzania)

Uganda's Rwanzor Mtns; and

Ethiopia's Semien Mtns

However recently as overall average temperatures have been rising the long term survival of these permanent snow area's is in doubt
