Rakops has a hot, very dry climate that is best classified as BWh, or hot desert climate, with strong sunshine and a marked summer rainy season. Long-term Botswana climate data show hot summers, warm winters, low humidity, and relatively modest annual rainfall, while Rakops lies in Botswana's Central District where hot desert and hot semi-arid climates occur. The current clear, dry conditions are consistent with the area's arid climate and low humidity.
