Rain is the main factor to consider when travelling in Equatorial Guinea. Dirt roads become extremely muddy, and you could find yourself stranded for some time. To avoid the rainy season, the best time to travel in Equatorial Guinea is between November and April.

Weather

There is little relief from the typically hot and sticky weather in Equatorial Guinea (you are, after all, right on the equator). Things cool down a bit between June and September, but rainfall is still abundant. Sunshine is slightly more generous in January and February, which see the least rain and humidity of the year, though the heat is still likely to push you into the shade.
