The [[temperature]] is generally above 20 °C.{{Weather box | single line = Y | Apr low C = 22 | Jan high C = 30 | Jan precipitation mm = 130 | Feb high C = 30 | Mar high C = 29 | Apr high C = 28 | May high C = 27 | Jul high C = 26 | Aug high C = 27 | source = Meteoblue<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.meteoblue.com/en/weather/historyclimate/climatemodelled/angoche_mozambique_1052944|title = Climate Angoche}}</ref> | Sep high C = 30 | Oct high C = 32 | Nov high C = 32 | Dec high C = 32 | Feb low C = 23 | Mar low C = 22 | year low C = 21 | year high C = 29 | Jan low C = 24 | Jun high C = 26 | Mar precipitation mm = 86 | May precipitation mm = 17 | Aug low C = 19 | Sep low C = 20 | Oct low C = 21 | Nov low C = 23 | Dec low C = 24 | Feb precipitation mm = 114 | Apr precipitation mm = 38 | Jun low C = 19 | Jun precipitation mm = 15 | location = Angoche | Jul precipitation mm = 14 | Aug precipitation mm = 12 | Sep precipitation mm = 5 | Oct precipitation mm = 6 | Nov precipitation mm = 17 | Dec precipitation mm = 60 | Jul low C = 18 | May low C = 20 | year precipitation mm = 514 }} The coastal plains in the region are dissected by some rivers that ascend from the coast to the interior, gradually passing to a more dissected relief with more steep slopes in between, from the transitional [[Plateau|subplateau]] zone to the coastal zone. This zone corresponds to the coastal area of the province. It is characterized by its sandy soils, washed to moderately washed, predominantly yellow to greyish-brown, whether in the inland sandy cover (Ferralic Arenosols) or in the coastal sandy dunes (Haplic Arenosols), and also by the soils of the strip of coastal [[sandstone]], from sandy to loam sandy clay loam with orange color (Ferralic Arenosols). The hydromorphic sandy soils of depressions and lows alternate with the higher ground parts (Gleyic Arenosols).
