The climate in Dakar revolves around two seasons. The dry season extends from November to May, and temperatures are moderated by a regular oceanic wind. A hotter, more humid and rainy season occurs from July to early October. If you wish to enjoy Dakar's beaches or engage in outdoor activities, you may prefer the period from November to May.The monuments, museums, tourist districts, restaurants and shops welcome you from January to December, for a stay in Dakar in all seasons. Opting for a trip outside the tourist season often provides more attractive fares.
