How many seasons do we have in Nigeria

The Nigerian climate varies greatly depending on the region. Therefore, there are two seasons - rainy and dry season.

The dry season in Nigeria is the most pleasant (from November to March) and especially in November and December. At this time on the coast (Lagos, Calabar) is still very hot, even at night. But the humidity is less compared to the rest of the year. The sky in the mornings is often covered with a haze of fog.

Moving to the north, the climate becomes more dry and in the center of the country the days are sunnier, and the nights are colder (Jos). There is almost no rain in the north, and the day is hot, while the nights are even cold (Kano, Maiduguri).

The harmattan season in Nigeria begins from December to March. It means that harmattan wind blows in the north, provoking sandstorms, which sometimes impairs visibility.

The rainy season in Nigeria on the coast lasts seven months (from the end of March to the end of October). The rains are very intense in Lagos, where the atmosphere is extremely stifling and hot. The rainiest place in the country is Calabar, where the rainfalls pour until December. There is a small "dry break" in August in the east of the country. Heavy rains also occur in the center of the country, while in the north the season is limited to four months (from June to September). The sea in Nigeria is warm all year round, but swimming can be dangerous due to strong tides.

We recommend paying attention to the weather conditions in Nigeria by months.
