🇬🇭 Accra vs 🇵🇰 Karachi

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.

Karachi's climate is dominated by its position on the Arabian Sea coast along the southern edge of the Sindh plain, creating a hot semi-arid environment moderated by maritime influence. The city experiences extreme heat from April to June before the southwest monsoon brings humid relief, while sea breezes penetrate unevenly across the sprawling metropolitan area depending on distance from the coast and building density. The Lyari and Malir river corridors, mangrove-fringed coastline, and stark contrasts between dense old-city fabric and open peripheral development create significant microclimate variation across the megacity.
