Climate of Ghana
The climate of Ghana is tropical.[1] The eastern coastal belt is warm and comparatively dry, the south-west corner of Ghana is hot and humid, and the north of Ghana is hot and dry.[2] Ghana is located on the Gulf of Guinea, only a few degrees north of the Equator, giving it a warm climate.[3]
Climate
Ghana has a tropical climate with two main seasons: the wet season and the dry season.[4]
In northern Ghana, the rainy season lasts from April to mid-October, while in the south it extends from March to mid-November.[4] The tropical climate of Ghana is relatively mild for its latitude.[4] From December to March, the harmattan - a dry desert wind - blows across northeastern Ghana, reducing humidity and bringing hotter days and cooler nights to the region.[4]
Average daily temperatures in Ghana range from 30°C (86°F) during the day to 24°C (75°F) at night, with relative humidity levels between 77% and 85%.[5] The southern part of the country experiences a bi-modal rainy season, occurring from April to June and again from September to November.[5] In the north, squalls typically occur in March and April, followed by intermittent rainfall until August and September, when precipitation peaks.[5] Annual rainfall varies between 78 and 216 centimeters (31 to 85 inches).[5]
