Sources and checks for this page
Live readings come from METAR reports from the aerodrome at Antananarivo/Ivato Intl. Monthly means and every record on this page are computed from NOAA GHCN-Daily observations stored per station, per year, per month, and the capital list is GeoNames, CC BY 4.0. Nothing here is modelled, interpolated or estimated, and a month the archive never covered is left out rather than filled in. See how this is built.
12.6°F between November and July, the 126th widest swing among the 230 capitals ranked here. The big figure on each card is the average high for that month across the whole record; the two lines beneath it are the hottest and coldest days ever recorded in it.

What is the weather in Antananarivo right now?+−
68.0°F at Antananarivo/Ivato Intl, measured at 06:30 local on Friday, 13 November 2026. This is the live reading from the station this page reads, after our quality checks. It is an observation rather than a forecast: it says what the weather IS, not what it will be.
When did temperature records begin in Antananarivo?+−
The archive held here for Antananarivo, Madagascar starts in 1973, which is 52 years of record, and 19,956 stored daily values, each one a maximum or a minimum.
Which station measures Antananarivo's temperature?+−
Antananarivo/Ivato Intl (FMMI), 1,269 m above sea level. Every figure on this page comes from that one station rather than from a city-wide average, so it is a measurement at a known place rather than an estimate for an area.
How is the temperature measured and checked?+−
Readings arrive from METAR reports from the aerodrome and are quality controlled before they appear: a value outside a plausible range, or one that jumps further than air can move in the time between readings, is rejected rather than published. Every figure shows its source and the time it was observed.
Are there gaps in Antananarivo's record?+−
The record runs from 1973 to 2025, and it is not equally deep across the year: the thinnest of the 12 months has 7 years of readings behind its average and the fullest has 12. Gaps are left as gaps: a month the archive never covered is omitted rather than filled in, which is why some months on this page carry no record.
Is Antananarivo getting hotter?+−
Across 10 Novembers between 1983 and 1999, the average November high at Antananarivo/Ivato Intl is level. That is a fit through this one station's record rather than a finding about the city or the climate.
How does Antananarivo compare with other capitals?+−
It is the 128th warmest of the 230 capital cities with a full twelve months of record here, ranked on annual mean rather than on any single day, and 126th by the width of its annual swing. Sanaa, Mbabane, Harare sit closest to it on that ranking.
Why is Antananarivo hotter in November than in January?+−
November averages a high of 81.9°F here and January 81.3°F, so the hottest part of the year arrives -10 months before midsummer and the afternoons are 0.5°F cooler by the time the sun is highest. The month cards above show the rise and the fall. These are temperature readings, so they show that shape rather than what causes it: nothing on this page measures cloud, rain or wind.
