Lomé's Climate
Lomé is the coastal capital of Togo, set on the Gulf of Guinea in West Africa near the equator, so it is hot and humid year-round with daytime highs usually 28–32°C. Because it sits on a relatively dry stretch of this coast, Lomé has two rainy seasons: a main wet season from April to July and a shorter one in September–October, split by a brief drier lull in August. The dry season runs November to March and is sometimes touched by the harmattan, a dry, dust-laden wind blowing off the Sahara that hazes the sky. Coastal humidity stays high throughout.
