Ghana has a tropical equatorial climate, which means that it's hot year-round with seasonal rains. In the humid southern coastal region, the rainy seasons are from April to June and during September and October. Throughout the year, maximum temperatures are around 30 ° C (86 ° F), dropping about 3-4 °C (to approx 77 °F) during the brief respite between rainy seasons). The humidity is constantly high, at about 80%, which can make the temperature appear hotter. In the central region, the rains are heavier and last longer. In the hotter and drier north, there is one rainy season, lasting from April to October. Midday temperatures rarely fall below 30°C, rising to 35°C and higher during December to March when the Harmattan (a dry and dusty wind) blows in from the Sahara. At this time, dust particles hang heavily in the air making it constantly hazy and temperatures plummet at night.
