Dodoma Future Trends
Tanzania · Africa · Trend-based projections to 2050
This page uses Dodoma's own 50 year weather record to project one trend line forward to 2030, 2040 and 2050, with a Best and Worst scenario range built from the trend's own statistical uncertainty. For where that trend has already gone, see the Climate Capitals Trends, or for current and historical day-to-day weather, see Meteo Capital Cities.

Frequently asked questions about Dodoma's projected trends
How warm will Dodoma be in 2050?
Extrapolated from Dodoma's own record since 1976, the average daytime high in 2050 works out at roughly 29.1°C, up 0.1°C from 2025. This is a straight-line projection of measured weather data, not a climate model or a scenario-based forecast.
How certain is the temperature projection for Dodoma?
The 2050 range runs from 28.6°C to 29.5°C. That spread comes from the 95% confidence interval on the trend line's own slope, so the noisier Dodoma's record, the wider the band. The trend accounts for 7% of the variation between years; the rest is ordinary year-to-year swing.
How many days above 30°C will Dodoma get in 2050?
The trend line lands on roughly 133 days above 30°C a year in 2050, against 125 in 2025. These are the days that set peak cooling demand, so this figure matters more for grid planning and building design than the annual average above.
Will Dodoma still get frost in 2050?
Dodoma already recorded no frost days in 2025, and the trend line does not change that. Frost is not a useful measure here, though the heat figures above are.
Is Dodoma getting wetter or drier by 2050?
The trend line lands on roughly 489mm of precipitation a year in 2050, against 425mm in 2025, so wetter. An annual total says little about distribution though: the same rainfall can arrive in shorter, harder bursts, and that is what loads drains and water storage.
Will Dodoma get more sunshine by 2050?
The trend line lands on roughly 3986 sunshine hours a year in 2050, against 4043 in 2025, so less sun. Sunshine hours bear directly on rooftop solar yield, though heat works against it at the same time: a panel loses efficiency at high temperatures.
