footnotes =Rumphi is the capital of the
Rumphi District in the Northern Region ofMalawi . It is a lively town with a market which serves the widespread tobacco farming community.Rumphi is noted for the kindness of the people (it's even rude to pass by someone without greeting them) Fact|date=August 2008. It is also known for nearby Nyika National Park, Nyika Plateau, and the summer heat. Unlike its larger neighbour,
Mzuzu , which has mild sunny weather almost all year, Rumphi has very hot summers. This is largely due to the town being surrounded by hills.Demographics
