Monrovia's Climate
Monrovia is the coastal capital of Liberia, set on the Atlantic shore of West Africa just over 6 degrees north of the equator, so it stays hot and humid all year under a tropical monsoon climate. Temperatures barely change through the year, with daytime highs usually 28–31°C month after month. Its defining feature is an intense rainy season from May to October, when the southwest monsoon delivers enormous rainfall that ranks Monrovia among the wettest cities on Earth; June through September sees rain almost daily. A shorter dry season from November to April is sunnier but still sticky.
