29. CLIMATE
NIGERIA HAS FOUR DIFFERENT TYPES OF CLIMATE
The 1st is the tropical rainforest climate, and the south of the
country will generally see more annual rainfall than elsewhere in
Nigeria. 2nd is tropical savanna, which is drier and affected by the
huge African continental landmass. 3rd is the tropical dry climate
in south, where vegetation changes and is more desert like. And
there are some mountains in Nigeria that experiences a (4th)
montane micro-climate, which much lower temperatures and
different patterns of precipitation.
As a tropical country with this geography, Nigeria experiences four
different climate types, which generally differ as you travel from
south to north of the country, moving away from the equator.

30. CLIMATE
Since it is a tropical country, there are still only two
seasons in Nigeria. The dry season, which lasts from
October until April is determined by high temperatures
and low humidity, and is affected by warm winds coming
from the Sahara Desert to the north. These winds are
known locally as ‘harmattan’, and they come into force
around December until February. For the other six months
of the year the country is in the wet season. Rains start in
the south, and then travel northward, with most parts of
the country seeing the most rain in May, June, or July.
Throughout the year, average temperatures in Nigeria fall
between 73°F and 88°F. However, the mercury can rise as
high as 110°F during the hottest time of the dry season,
and drop to 42°F during the rainy season.
