The country’s coastal areas, such as Accra and Cape Coast, experience slightly cooler sea breezes, while inland cities like Kumasi and Tamale can be hotter and more humid.

Weather patterns vary across Ghana’s regions. The south, including Accra and Kumasi, typically has two rainy seasons: April to June and September to November. The northern regions, such as Tamale, usually experience a single rainy season from May to October, followed by a long dry season dominated by the Harmattan winds from the Sahara.
