The climate of Botswana is mostly semi-arid with hot summers from October to March and moderately warm winters from June to August. The area code of Botswana is +267. This code was introduced on 1 January 1966 when Botswana switched from its old international dialling code of +800 to +267 for all incoming calls from abroad. This change was made so that all incoming calls would be routed through international carriers instead of neighbouring countries. This has helped increase security as well as improve call quality for customers calling into Botswana from abroad. Check programingplease for Botswana in 2010.
