Practical weather notes for Accra

Accra sits on West Africa's Gulf of Guinea coast, with a tropical climate that is drier than many people expect for the region, since the city lies in a stretch of coastline that gets less rain than areas further along the Ghanaian coast. The main rainy season runs roughly April to June, with a shorter secondary wet spell in September and October.

Seasons in Accra

From November to March, the harmattan, a dry, dusty wind blowing from the Sahara, can reduce visibility and add a hazy quality to the sky, along with noticeably lower humidity than the rest of the year. Temperatures stay warm year-round with little seasonal swing, so the harmattan's dust and dryness is usually a bigger day-to-day factor than temperature.

Frequently asked questions

How often is the forecast updated?
The live weather data refreshes several times a day, so you're always seeing the latest forecast for Accra.

Is the 14-day forecast reliable?
The first few days are usually the most accurate. Further ahead, the forecast mainly shows a trend rather than the exact weather at a specific hour.

What should I check before heading outside?
Look at the combination of rain, wind and feels-like temperature. A short trip can handle a passing shower, but a longer walk or bike ride benefits from a more stable stretch of weather.
