April - October - Wet Season

Rain usually begins to fall in the wetter center and south in April, May, and June with a brief respite from July to August. A shorter rainy season comes in September, October, and the first part of November. In the desert, like the north, the rains usually arrive from March to September. The rain can cause terrible flooding and blocked roads in the north.

The country does not experience strong seasonal changes like most Europeans and North Americans are used to. The average daily temperatures are reasonably consistent throughout the year, and the average temperature for the northern hemisphere winter months is actually higher than for the summer months. In Accra for example the hottest temperatures are from November through January, despite it lying in the same hemisphere as Europe.
