The winter in Benin

Wheather is one of the Things About Benin You Should Know. Benin's climate is tropical, with a dry season in winter and a rainy season owing to the African monsoon, which spans from May to September in the extreme north and from mid-March to October in the south. The rainy season comes to an end along the coast in August. Precipitation is less than 1,000 millimeters (40 inches) a year in the extreme north, where the dry season lasts nearly seven months, and ranges between 1,000 and 1,300 mm in the rest of the country (40 and 51 in).

During the summer, residents of Benin wear bulky winter jackets. That is one of the travel warnings you should know before visiting Benin. Temperatures at Cotonou Airport persist at or above 26 degrees Celsius, especially after 10 p.m. That is most likely one of the most humorous travel advisories you will encounter if you visit Benin. It may appear silly that you are caught in the winter cold without suitable attire. It's cold here in August, with temperatures as low as 20 degrees Celsius. Nobody wants to leave the house at this time of year unless absolutely essential. To prepare for this event, always bring thick clothing when you visit Benin.
