Best Time To Visit Cameroon

While Cameroon is a popular tourist destination all year, June-July is the best time to visit due to a variety of variables including the weather, the cost of travel and lodging, and the avoidance of peak holiday times.

Temperatures in Yaoundé, Cameroon, can reach 36°C (97°F) during the summer months. Yaoundé's average winter temperature is around 23°C (74°F), with the coldest temperature being around 23°C (73°F). Other parts of Cameroon can get considerably colder than this at times.

In December, the sun stays up the longest in Cameroon, so you'll get the most out of your daytime activities if you come then. July has the most rainy days on average, making it the wettest month of the year. Despite the fact that it is the rainy season, it can often rain a little throughout the day or evening, but there is usually clear weather for the duration of the day, so don't be put off.

The months of November to February are the ideal for visiting Cameroon because they are slightly colder and drier. The Saharan harmattan wind lowers temperatures and humidity while also bringing a dust haze. However, this is a big country with a wide range of climates, from the hotter, drier north to the rainy, but scenic slopes of Mount Cameroon.
