Weather Is Hot. Really Hot!
The climate of Niger is primarily hot and dry, with significant desert land, resulting in regular fires in some areas. This is one of the things about Niger you should know before travelling. A tropical climate prevails on the outskirts of the Niger River basin in the far south. Desert plains and sand dunes dominate the landscape, with flat to rolling savanna in the south and hills in the north.
It is truly one of Africa's hottest countries. With that said, it may be called one of the world's hottest countries. Consider how much heat you can endure while planning your trip to Niger and book your flights appropriately.
There are two seasons in this country. The rainy season runs from June to September, with June and August seeing the most rain. The other is more convenient because it is the dry season, which is also cooler. It runs from September to May, but experts recommend visiting between December and February. If you aren't used to dealing with sandstorms, you should avoid November to prevent unpleasant encounters and reduced vision. Harmattan, a strong westward wind that transports dust from the Saharan dunes, may be encountered during this month.
