About LDS missions in the Republic of the Congo
There is currently 1 active LDS mission based in the Republic of the Congo, in 1 city. The Republic of Congo Brazzaville Mission is based in Brazzaville, the national capital. Every mission city is south of the equator, so the calendar seasons run the opposite way to the northern hemisphere: December to February is summer and June to August is winter.
Missionaries serve across areas set by their mission, which can reach well beyond the city the mission is based in, and they are transferred between those areas during a mission.
Local time in the Republic of the Congo
Every mission in the Republic of the Congo keeps Africa/Brazzaville. The clock below is live, and follows daylight saving where it applies.

Missionary Tracker shows this clock next to your missionary, so nobody at home has to work out whether it is a reasonable hour to write.
Climate and seasons in the Republic of the Congo
Every mission city in the Republic of the Congo shares one climate class: tropical savanna (Köppen Aw). Hot through the whole year, split into a distinct wet season and a distinct dry season rather than into summer and winter.
Across those cities, the warmest monthly average high is 31 °C (89 °F) in Brazzaville during April, and the coolest monthly average low is 18 °C (64 °F) in Brazzaville during July.
Always use your Missionary Portal and your mission’s own “what to bring” instructions when deciding what clothing or equipment to pack. This describes the weather, not what to take.
