Ghana is an African country located south of the Sahara, and facing the Gulf of Guinea in the southern part.
Ghana has a tropical climate, so expect warm to hot temperatures year-round with high humidity levels, unlike temperate regions that experience significant temperature fluctuations across seasons.
Rainy season is the wetter season characterized by more frequent showers and thunderstorms. Temperatures will still be warm, but may feel slightly cooler due to cloud cover. It is similar to spring and early summer in some temperate regions with regards to rain, but significantly warmer therefore European and American visitors used to temperate climates might find this period more comfortable. Generally rainy season lasts from April to October but duration differs in regions.
The rainy season generally lasts from April to October, but this can vary depending on where you are in Ghana. For instance, the north gets rain from May to September, the center from April to October, and the south from April all the way to November.
On the east coast, the rainy season is shorter, lasting from April to June. It then takes a break in July and August before picking up a bit again in September and October.
Dry Season (November-March) is the hotter and drier season with less rain. Temperatures can soar, especially in the north. It is similar to late summer in some temperate regions with regards to heat, but with less humidity. However, unlike temperate zones, Ghana doesn't experience significant cooling or shorter days during this period. Visitors from Asia accustomed to hot and humid climates might find this period more familiar.
The southern part of Ghana gets the most rain, over 1,500 millimeters (around 60 inches) every year. An even smaller area on the west coast gets even more rain, reaching 2,000 millimeters (about 80 inches) a year.
The north and the eastern coast, which includes Accra, are the driest areas. The north gets around 1,000 millimeters (40 inches) of rain annually, and the east coast gets less than 800 millimeters (31.5 inches). The eastern coast also has a break in the rain during July and August, so you could almost say it has two rainy seasons
