We don't have air conditioning, we have a fan in the room.

Zanzibar enjoys a warm and humid sub-equatorial climate. Air temperatures often exceed 30°C (86°F) and the water temperature rarely drops below 25°C (77°F). A year is divided into two rainy seasons and two dry seasons. The long dry season lasts from June to September/October; rain is scarce and the average air temperature is 25°C (77°F). It is a perfect time for those who like warm weather but are tired by extreme heat typical for Turkey or Egypt. The second dry season occurs in January, February, and March. This is Zanzibar’s summer, with temperatures reaching up to 35°C (95°F). Some say water in the ocean is so warm that you can even work up a sweat while swimming! It is also high tourist season on the island. The long rain season occurs between late March and late May and is characterized by brief but intense rainfall occurring at irregular intervals; this does not mean rain every day. This is the least crowded period in Zanzibar. The short rain season occurs between November and December. The rain and dry seasons are tied to monsoons in this part of the world: the northern monsoon (called ‘Kaskazi’) coming in December and January and the southern (‘Kusi’) blowing from June to August.
