With 300 days of sunshine on average per year, Namibia is truly a sunny place. Only during the summer months from November to February precipitation does occur, mostly as heavy thunderstorms. Then the usually dry riverbeds, called "Riviere", become saturated with torrents of muddy water in a very short time. It is during this time that the sun-scorched land comes to life and develops a colorful horizon to horizon floral carpet within a few days.
You can travel Namibia at any time of the year. The best time, however, are the months from April to June, when the temperatures are around 25 degrees and hardly go below 20 degrees during the day and the sky is blue. The nights are cool and ideal for a good night's sleep. In the Namibian highland there might be frost at night.
