in Togo: when to go?
tropical humide climate
Togo enjoys a humid tropical climate characterized by two distinct seasons. The dry season, from November to March, offers ideal conditions with clear skies, minimal rainfall, and pleasant temperatures ranging between 25 and 32°C. The harmattan, a hot and dry wind coming from the Sahara, brings a particularly pleasant atmosphere between December and February. The rainy season extends from April to October, with peak rainfall between June and September. During this period, tropical showers are frequent and intense, humidity becomes stifling, and temperatures can climb beyond 35°C. To discover Togo's treasures—from Lomé's beaches to traditional villages in the Togo Mountains, passing through colorful markets—absolutely prioritize the period from November to February. You will then enjoy a dry and sunny climate, perfect for exploring this small country with its thousand cultural facets.
