...Located on a plateau at an altitude of 1100-1200m, with scattered hills, the area enjoys a monthly average temperature of 20℃ (July) to 24.5℃ (November), but the average annual rainfall is low at about 550mm, with only 20mm especially in the dry season (May to October).

A plan to move Tanzania's capital to this central location was decided in 1973, and construction of a new capital is currently underway.
