Try Weather Underground
You might want to check the Weather Underground for temperatures where you are planning to travel. Some places have an almanac so that you can see what the average temperatures are at the time of year you are planning to go there. Here is the link to Namibia:

Hmmmm, 27C for a high and 15C for a low tomorrow in Windhoek...
Calgary: +1 for a high and -7 for a low and we just had a dump of snow. Where would I rather be?

Oh yeah, down bag and cotton liner for us. We tried a super light +10 bag (hey, the next trip we are travelling lighter!) on a summer trip from Calgary to Vancouver and nearly froze even wearing fleece clothing. We've used the down/cotton liner combo in everything from +40 to -10 without trouble. Everyone always raves about the silk liners but I've found that it catches on dry skin whereas the cotton doesn't.
