WEATHER
The Gambia has a beautiful subtropical climate with two distinct seasons in the year: the Rainy season and the Dry season. The Dry season – brought on by the arid and dusty trade winds of the Harmattan blowing off the Sahara to West Africa –  lasts from November to June. The short but often spectacular rainstorms of the rainy season transform the Gambian landscape into verdant paradise. During these periods of rain, humidity rises to 95% and the temperature reaches 43°C (110°F). During winter (the Dry season) the mornings and evenings are much cooler, about 16°C (60°F). The days however are filled with the warm, golden rays of the sun.
