Fact: Africa is a vast, temperate landscape that contains deserts, rainforests and snowy mountains.
It even snows in Africa! There are ski resorts in Morocco and quite a few other African countries. Africa's high elevations experience snowfall, even those locations close to the equator. Locations in South Africa experience below-freezing temperatures throughout the winter.
And Africa is large, therefore it's difficult to make any generalisations about the continent as a whole. There are, of course, changes in seasons and many different countries with different elevations. This makes is difficult to provide an average temperature. Asking for an average temperature in Africa would be like asking for the average temperature for North America and half of South America combined.
