Accra's Climate

Set on the Gulf of Guinea, Accra has a hot, humid tropical savanna climate, yet it is relatively dry for the tropics thanks to its coastal setting. Temperatures hover around 24–31°C all year with high humidity and a sticky feel. The city has two rainy seasons: a major one from April to June (peaking in June) and a shorter minor one in September–October, separated by drier spells. From December to February, the Harmattan wind from the Sahara brings dry dust and hazy skies.
