Ghana
has mild climate which is Tropical. The sun’s position with regard to
the Equator and the corresponding position of the intertropical
convergence the boundary between the moist southwesterly winds and the
dry northeasterly winds result in the climatic variations from place to
place in the country. In the North, the rains show their presence in
March-April, with intermittent rain until August-September when the
rains are at their best. In other areas rains occur from from April to
June and from September to November.
Rainfall ranges
from 30 to 80 inches a year
Temperatures range between 21°C and 32°C (70°F -
90°F). Humidity is 50 to 80%. In most areas, temperatures are highest
in March and lowest in August after the rains. Variation between day
and night temperatures is relatively small, but greater in the north,
especially in January, as a result of the harmattan.
