Pointe-Noire is the main Atlantic port of southwestern Republic of the Congo, sitting just south of the equator with a warm, humid tropical climate that is tempered by the cool Benguela ocean current. Notably, the city has a long cool dry season (June–September) when skies are cloudy, rain is scarce and temperatures ease to a comfortable 22–28°C, while the wet season (October–May) is hotter and stickier with heavy showers and thunderstorms and daytime highs around 28–31°C. Being in the Southern Hemisphere, its seasons run opposite to the north, humidity stays high and the sea remains cool year-round.
