Bobo-Dioulasso's Climate

Bobo-Dioulasso lies in southwestern Burkina Faso, in the inland savanna belt of West Africa, with a tropical savanna climate defined by sharply contrasting wet and dry seasons. The dry season runs from November to April, hot, arid and dusty, especially when the parched harmattan wind blows off the Sahara and hazes the sky; March and April are hottest, sometimes topping 38–40°C. The rainy season (May–October) is cooler and more humid as the West African monsoon delivers showers and thunderstorms, peaking in August. Overall the city is wetter than the arid north of the country.
