Two separate wet seasons shape the year here, roughly around June and September, with drier, more reliable stretches in between rather than one long wet or dry season. In January, expect highs around 30°C with rain on roughly 2 days of the month.
Things to Do
A good window for Cape Coast's historic forts and, in some years, cultural festivals like PANAFEST.
Local Cuisine
Try jollof rice and waakye, plus banku with grilled tilapia from lakeside stalls.
