Burkina Faso: Climate & WeatherTwo large seasons dominate the country’s climate: From November to May, the dry season, characterised by the harmattan, the hot Saharan wind which often makes its appearance between December and February, and the really hot weather that starts in March. The rainy season is between June and October. The best time therefore for visiting Burkina Faso is when the climate is the most temperate, between November and February despite the inconvenience of the pervasive fine sand caused by the harmattan. |
