| Climate & VegetationGhana has a tropical climate that varies from a warm dry coastal belt in the southeast and a hot humid southwest corner to a hot dry northern savannah. Except in the north, two rainy seasons occur, from April to June and from September to November. In the north, the rainy season is from March to September. Annual rainfall ranges from about 1015 mm in the north to about 2300 mm in the south-east and down to 725 mm in the dry coastal plains (e.g. Accra). The harmattan, a dry, north wind, blows from December to March, lowering the humidity and creating hot days and cool nights in the north. In the south, the effects of the harmattan are felt in January. In most areas, the highest temperatures occur in March, the lowest in August. The average annual temperature is about 30 °C (86 F).
