All Months
November through February offers the most comfortable weather. Temperatures hover around 85°F during the day and drop to pleasant 70°F at night. The harmattan winds blow in December and January, bringing dust but also cooler, drier air.
March and April start getting seriously hot – we're talking 100°F+ with rising humidity. The rainy season runs May through October, with heavy downpours that flood streets and make transport difficult. But here's the thing: hotel prices drop significantly during wet season if you can handle the conditions.
Ramadan affects the city's rhythm regardless of when it falls. Many restaurants close during daylight hours, and the pace of business slows. Plan accordingly but don't avoid visiting – the evening iftar meals offer incredible cultural experiences.
