Tukuyu town has a moderate to cool temperature ranging from 10° C in May/June to mid 20°C in around November.The town and surrounding areas are ever green all year round due the almost year round convectional rains resulting from Lake Nyasa(Lake Malawi).
The local language is Nyakyusa together with the national language Swahili. Secondary and college education is done in the English language. The people are the Nyakyusa, although localised groups give themselves different local names, such as the Waandali from the surrounding Ileje mountains.There are also intermarriages with the Kinga ,Wabena and Kisii tribes from the Livingstone mountain ranges." - (en.wikipedia.org 23.05.2020) - Latitude
