Benin

Climate & when to go

Southern Benin has two rainy seasons: the first is from April to mid-July, the second from mid-September to late October. The rains in the north fall from June to early October. Harmattan winds billow out of the Sahara between December and March, and the hottest time of the year is from February to April. The coolest, driest time to visit is between November and February.

Smaller roads throughout Benin may be impassable during the rainy seasons, notably those in the wildlife parks.
