Addis-Ababada subtropik baland tog'li iqlimi (Cwb), har xil mo''tadil okeanik iqlimi, yozi nam bo'lgan (solishtirish mumkin) Mexiko). O'rtacha eng yuqori ko'rsatkichlar 21 ° C (70 ° F) va 25 ° C (77 ° F) orasida. O'rtacha past harorat 7 ° C (45 ° F) va 11 ° C (52 ° F) orasida. Eng issiq oylar fevraldan maygacha, ammo odamlar Afrikani tasavvur qilganidek "issiq" emas: aksariyat mehmonxonalarda konditsioner yo'q. Harorat va iqlim balandlik tufayli o'zgarishi mumkin. Addis-Ababada yiliga 132 yomg'irli kun bor va har yili 1165 mm (45,9 dyuym) yog'ingarchilik qayd etilgan.
Addis-Ababadagi haroratlar har oyda sezilarli darajada o'zgarib turadi: haroratning yillik o'zgarishi past, 4 ° C atrofida (7,2 ° F). Biroq, balandligi 2400 m (7900 fut) bo'lganligi sababli, kunlik harorat o'zgarishi yuqori bo'lib, o'rtacha kunduzi va kechasi o'rtasidagi farq 14 ° C (25 ° F) atrofida: Bu ko'pincha 27 ° C (81 ° F) da tushlik paytida va kechasi 3 ° C (37 ° F); kechqurun har doim siz bilan ikkinchi qavatni olib boring.
Fasllar
- Quruq qish mavsumi oktyabrdan martgacha.
- Musson mavsumi iyundan sentyabrgacha. Harorat boshqa oyga o'xshash bo'lsa ham, iyul va avgust oylari sovuq va qulayroq bo'lib, 80% nisbiy namlik tufayli, bir necha soat quyosh nurlari va kunlik yomg'irlar keladi: tonzillit va oddiy shamollash. Yomg'irlar loyga olib keladi va tuproq yo'llarini sovunlantiradi. Suv toshqinlari tiqilinchni keltirib chiqaradigan yo'llarda, xususan, yomg'irli mavsum boshida (iyun oxiri), suv o'tkazgich quvurlari chang va quruq mavsumda to'plangan chiqindilar bilan yopilganda sodir bo'ladi. Momaqaldiroq (qisqa, ammo kuchli yomg'ir) tez-tez va izolyatsiya qilinadi. Masalan, Bole shahrida 2 soatlik tushlik qilish uchun shaharning boshqa hududiga ko'chib o'tish va Aradaga qaytib kelganda nam yo'llarni topish odatiy hol emas. Avgust oyida do'lni ham boshdan kechirish mumkin.
- Aprel va may oylari atrofida yozning iliq mavsumi Addis-Ababada deyarli sezilmaydi (Efiopiyaning boshqa qismlarida ko'proq ko'rinadi).

Samolyotda
1 Addis Ababa Bole xalqaro aeroporti (QO'ShIMChA IATA) Sharqiy Afrikadagi eng gavjum aeroport. Bu uchun asosiy markaz Ethiopian Airlines, Afrikadagi eng muvaffaqiyatli va obro'li aviakompaniyalardan biri. Shuningdek, aeroportda Lufthansa, Air Jibouti, Eritrean Airlines, Sudan Airways, Kenya Airways, Rwanda Air, Saudi Airlines, Turkish Airways, Emirates, Qatar Airways, Egypt Air aviakompaniyalari va Dubayga uchib ketishadi.

AQShdan bor to'g'ridan-to'g'ri dan parvozlar LAX, Newark Ozodlikva Vashington, Kolumbiya, ikkalasida ham to'xtash Dublin yoki Lome.
Ikkita terminal mavjud. Terminal 1 (kattaroq, kichikroq) barcha ichki reyslarga va aksariyat qo'shni mamlakatlarning shaharlariga parvozlarga mo'ljallangan (Jibuti, Nayrobi, Xartum, va boshqalar.). Terminal 2 (2003 yildagi yangi bino) Ethiopian Airlines aviakompaniyasining boshqa barcha xalqaro reyslari uchun va boshqa ko'plab kompaniyalar uchun mo'ljallangan - kelishuvlar o'zgarishi mumkin, shuning uchun avval tekshirib ko'ring. Terminal 2 Afrikaning Sahroi ostidagi eng katta terminal ekanligi aytilmoqda. Visa va Mastercard va forex xizmatlarini qabul qiluvchi bankomatlar, turli xil valyutalarni o'z ichiga olgan.
2019 yil iyul oyidan boshlab terminallarga kirish taqiqlangan. Taksilar va sizni kutib olish uchun kelganlar avtoulovda bo'lishadi, ammo o'nlab eng yaxshi mehmonxonalar hanuzgacha kelganlar hududida stend mavjud. Shunga o'xshash qoidalar mamlakatning boshqa aeroportlarida, uchish va ketish vaqtida ham amal qiladi. Agar siz tartibga keltirgan bo'lsangiz, ko'plab mehmonxonalar mehmonlarni qabul qilish uchun transport vositasini yuborishadi. Sheraton Addis, Dreamliner, Hilton Addis, boshqa ko'plab mehmonxonalar va ko'plab mashhur mehmonxonalar mehmonlarga muntazam transport xizmatini taqdim etadi. Bir oz tashqarida, avtomagistral (Ring Road) ko'prigi ostida jamoat transporti to'xtash joyi mavjud. 2017 yilga kelib, aeroport eng yaqin yengil temir yo'l tranzit stantsiyasidan 4 km dan (2,5 mil) uzoqroq masofada joylashganki, bu uni amalda bir-biriga bog'lamaydi. Kelajakda Bole aeroportini engil temir yo'l tranzit tarmog'ining qolgan qismiga ulash uchun yangi yo'nalish rejalashtirilgan.
2018 yil dekabr holatiga ko'ra aeroportdan shahar markazining deyarli istalgan joyiga borish uchun 300 birr miqdorida taksining qatnovi belgilangan. Taksi haydovchilari aeroport yonidagi avtoturargohda yig'ilishadi. Katta ehtimol bilan ular sizga "Taksi!" Deb baqirib murojaat qilishadi. Qonuniy haydovchilar o'z mashinalarida sariq / yashil rang bilan belgilangan bo'lishi va litsenziyani ko'rinadigan joyga qo'yishlari kerak.
Chet elliklarni ko'pincha yuklarni mashinalarga yuklashga "yordam berishga" urinayotgan ko'plab mahalliy aholi kutib oladi. Ular asosan zararsiz va faqat maslahat qidirmoqdalar, ammo sumkani yo'qotish oson bo'lishi mumkin. Avtoulovga yuklarni yuklash kabi kichik vazifani bajarish uchun tegishli maslahat 5 dan 15 birrgacha (chet ellik ekanligingiz sababli ko'proq pul so'rab murojaatlarni e'tiborsiz qoldiring). Agar sizga bitta odam yordam bersa, yigirma kishi maslahat so'raydi. Agar sizda haydovchi sizni aeroportda kutib olsa, ular odatda siz uchun biron bir maslahat bilan shug'ullanishadi. Aeroport atrofida, ayniqsa tunda yolg'iz yurishdan saqlaning.

- Addis is safer than most cities in Africa. Gang violence and similar serious activities are unusual. However, you may encounter some pick-pockets va con-artists around and inside Bole Airport, Mercato, Piazza and many other areas. Keep your belongings close, and pay attention to your surroundings. A common tactic is to show you a tray of things to buy with one hand and to try your pocket with the other. The good news is most of these pick-pockets are unarmed and young boys. If they know that you are aware of what they are up to, they may get intimidated and go away. However, some can be quite persistent and even involve older boys.
- Watch out for the spitting scam which happens in Piazza area. Typically it involves someone "accidentally" spitting on you, offering a handkerchief / tissue to clean it up, trying your pockets while you are distracted by this "accident" and then jumping into a companion's car with your belongings.
- Someone might also grab your arm and act crazy pretending to kick you as a distraction while his accomplice tries your pockets.
- As most Ethiopians are very welcoming, there is an infamous scam where young locals "befriend" tourists and invite them over after a nice day together to celebrate a "special holiday". You will get fed a lot of khat leaves, a chewing drug, and have a good time with them, but in the end you will be asked for a tremendous amount of money for the khat as they claim it is a "special" quality. Be aware of too friendly locals and ask if there is a price to anything, even if they claim you are invited.
- Be aware of your belongings on Line Taxis: They usually get very crowded – keep your wallet/phone/bag close to you.
- The major and important roads and areas are patrolled by the 'Federal Police' or, as the city residents refer them Federal. They have a reputation of being merciless with suspected criminals. In contrast, the Addis-Ababa city police, who most of the time patrol the less important city streets, markets and neighborhoods are more tolerant and less respected police officers.
- For all emergencies ☏911. In Addis, major streets are generally safe at night.
- Unlike in other African cities, in Addis-Ababa, police officers never approach foreigners to ask them to present a passport, ID or "legal" papers. Once you show your passport at the airport, you are free to move around pretty much anywhere. The only time you need your passport or ID is for hotel reservation and other similar and few instances. However, it is important to have your ID with you at all times.

Watch what you drink or you can fall sick. It is important to remember to only drink bottled water. There are many brands to choose from; always check the plastic seal on all bottles before paying any vendor. Visitors are warned against eating vegetables such as those in salads that may have been washed in water. Try limiting fruits and vegetables to those you peel yourself such as oranges, mangos, etc.
Pollution. Addis Ababa is badly polluted because of badly maintained diesel vehicles and dust. If you have any sensitivity to this, it is worth wearing a dust mask as is popular in many Asian countries.
Be prepared for culture shock. If you take photos of the people, ask first and offer to show them their picture if you have a digital camera with a display screen. Children enjoy seeing their pictures a lot of the time.
Overwhelmed. Many first time visitors may feel overwhelmed if they have not experienced this type of culture difference before. Be polite but not intrusive. It is OK to ask questions of the locals, but you should be prepared to be hassled a lot of the time, especially if you are white. Additionally, for foreigners who are black, it may be possibly to "blend in", precautions are in order (depending where you are, in Addis on Bole road they are used to seeing foreigners compared to the countryside). If you prepare yourself before arrival, you will be better able to cope.

Telephone
The country code for calling Ethiopia is 251. The city code for Addis Ababa is 011 (yoki 251 11 from outside Ethiopia).
Mobile
Ethiopia uses a GSM network operated by Ethiopian Telecommunications Corporation. There is decent coverage around big cities such as Addis Ababa, Dire Dawa, Bahir Dar, Debre Markos, Dese, Gonder, Harar, Mekele, and Nekemete. It is expanding into most small cities.
Roaming charges are very steep. your best option for mobile access is to buy a local SIM card.
An easy option is to buy a SIM card, at 30 birr (June 2019). Ask a cell phone retailer or better still an Ethiotel shop. Be prepared: you will need a passport-sized picture and a photocopy of your passport that the seller will keep. The SIM card has to be registered before it will work properly. The registration can take 24 hours to be completed by the network. The SIM card will need to be cut to size as they are supplied as mini SIM's. Cutting will cost 20 birr in a shop. The Ethiotel service is not 100% reliable. Monthly internet bundles are available - 1GB for 100 birr. Dial *999# and follow the prompts to subscribe. For internet access, the APN is etc.com
Internet
In Addis Ababa, especially in Bole Subcity, you can find quite a number of internet cafes. Some still use dial-up connections, but broadband is becoming more popular. Most of the high-end hotels have internet connections (either Ethernet or Wi-Fi), which are reasonably fast and often free for hotel guests.
A general problem with the Internet in Ethiopia is the unstable international high-speed connection. If it is not working, even broadband cafes only deliver dial-up speeds and less. The local definition of highspeed broadband is 128Kb! Another general problem is the shortage of electricity, forcing daytime blackouts of whole areas 1–2 days a week, so it is good to plan ahead where you are going for internet access.
Skype and VoIP service are legal in Ethiopia. According to local press, Ethiopia today has the fourth worst internet in the world.
- Dembel City Center on Bole Rd has "Hut Internet Cafe" on the 2nd floor with over 30 Internet capable computers for use every day 10:00-19:00.
- Arkies Business Center, Piazza, next to 'Taitu Hotels'
- Broadband Internet in DH Geda Tower, next to Friendship City Center / Bole Rd. 128kbit/s, many seats, but mostly completely occupied. The good thing is that it is easy to find.
- Nina Internetcafe, across from Baro Hotels, inside Wutema Hotels
- TG Business Center, Bole, from Airport (big roundabout) to the right, junction with Cameroon Rd (locally known as "Bole-Tele") has broadband but only 3 seats. Most of the time it is not crowded, so a good connection can be expected.
- DMG Internet Center, near Edna Mall next to Kaldi's Cafe just off Djibuti St (the road leading from Tele Bole towards 22), has broadband connection and 11 terminals. 2 MB speed Internet, which translates to pretty decent speed for the country. Open M–Sa 08:30–20:00.
Wireless internet
3G Internet services (known as WCDMA or UMTS) are available in many parts of Addis Ababa. A special SIM card and capable phone is needed. Price is 0.04 birr per 100 KB. CDMA is also available, which needs special devices (prices around 0.10 birr per minute, around 128 kbit/s). EV-DO requires a USB device and is faster than CDMA but requires monthly payment of 500 birr for 2 GB data plan. CDMA and EV-DO are also available in all regional and most zonal capitals in Ethiopia.
