Senegal has a tropical climate that is both hot and humid for much of the year. The climate in Senegal divides the year into two principal parts: The dry season is from November to May with temperatures around 25°C, from June to October the rainy season controls the weather, it continues longer in the South than in the North.
The month of June is generally wetter. Temperatures can reach 30°C during the wet season. It is more pleasant to visit Senegal during the wet season, and if possible before February, as temperatures are still warm, but the rainy season can also provide some beautiful moments with the flowering blossoms and the constant presence of the birds.
The rainy season, from May to November, has strong southeast winds while the dry season from December to April is dominated by the hot, but dry, harmattan wind. Lowlands are seasonally flooded and there are periodic droughts.
The local currency is the West African CFA Franc (XOF).
