Kaduna's Climate
Kaduna sits on the plateau of northern Nigeria at around 600m elevation and has a tropical savanna climate with a clear divide between the wet and dry seasons. The rainy season (April–October) is hot and humid with frequent showers and thunderstorms, daytime highs around 27–32°C and pleasant cooling after the rain. The dry season (November–March) brings clear skies, hot sunny days and cool nights thanks to the elevation; from December to February the dry, cool harmattan wind carries Saharan dust that hazes the air. March and April are the hottest stretch before the rains return, sometimes reaching 36–38°C.
