Madagascar Weather in January
January is the start of a very wet and hot period in Madagascar and the weather is pretty undesirable; rain can be as much as 340mm for the month, especially on the east coast which is generally wetter than the west or south.
Such rain can make the roads to national parks and accommodations impassable with roads that are usually dry and bumpy, turning into deep mud. In certain areas hotels and lodges will actually close, as will some local operators making travel very difficult.
