Senegal experiences climatic variation according to the region, but in general, the climate is mild. The temperature in the west of the country, which is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean, is cooler than elsewhere. Central and southern Senegal have a continental climate of warm days and cool nights. In the north and east, a tropical climate dominates. In general, during your trip to Senegal , you can expect two seasons: A dry season from November to May and a rainy season from June to October. It is worth knowing that the rains last longer in the south of the country. The dry season (before February) is the ideal time to visit Senegal as temperatures are mild (around 25°C). But a visit in wet weather, when flowers are blooming and birds are ubiquitous, can be rewarding despite the heat.
