Climate Overview
Accra
Tropical savanna — hot year-round, two rainy seasons, harmattan dry season
Accra sits on the Gulf of Guinea near the equator. It's hot year-round but less humid than Lagos due to the cold Benguela current offshore. The Harmattan (November–March) brings dry, hazy conditions from the Sahara. Two rainy seasons: March–July and September–October.
Hilo
Hilo on the Big Island's rainy east coast is one of America's wettest cities, averaging over 130 inches of rain annually. The northeast trade winds hit Mauna Kea's massive slopes and dump enormous precipitation on the windward coast. The city overlooks Hilo Bay and is vulnerable to tsunamis — markers throughout downtown show previous inundation levels.
