Accra in July
Not the best time
Another month to skip unless absolutely necessary. The constant rain and flooding make getting around Accra genuinely difficult and unpleasant.
Weather
July continues the intense rainy pattern with frequent flooding in low-lying areas of Accra. Temperatures stay moderate due to cloud cover, but the constant humidity is exhausting. Some days see non-stop drizzle.

All Months
October through March gives you the best weather — dry season means less humidity and almost no rain. December and January are peak months when the harmattan winds blow down from the Sahara, creating hazy but comfortable conditions. Temperatures hover around 80-85°F during the day. April through June gets sticky and wet, with heavy afternoon downpours that flood streets. July and August bring a brief dry spell but stay humid. The rains return in September. But here's what guidebooks don't tell you: the wet season has its charms. Fewer crowds, lower hotel rates, and the city feels more authentic when it's not performing for tourists. Just pack an umbrella and waterproof shoes.
