Ghana's Two Seasons: Wet and Dry

Ghana, like most tropical countries, has two main seasons, not four:

• Wet Season (April–October): Heaviest rains May–June and September–October. High humidity, lush vegetation, farming peak. Temperatures 24–31°C (75–88°F).
• Dry Season (November–March): Harmattan winds (Dec–Feb) bring dust, cooler mornings, low humidity. Minimal rain. Temperatures 22–33°C (72–91°F). Best for travel.

Southern Ghana (coastal) has two rainy peaks; the north has one prolonged wet season. Climate change is increasing variability—longer dry spells, intense downpours.
