Guinea Weather Radar

Guinea climate

Guinea has a tropical climate with dramatic regional variations shaped by its diverse topography, from the coastal lowlands to the Fouta Djallon highlands and the forested southeast. Conakry on the Atlantic coast receives a staggering 3,800mm of annual rainfall, with the monsoon season from June to October bringing relentless downpours. The city's coastal location ensures high humidity year-round, with temperatures between 24-32°C.

The Fouta Djallon plateau in central Guinea, rising to 1,500 meters, is often called the "water tower of West Africa" because it is the source of major rivers including the Niger, Senegal, and Gambia. This highland region receives heavy orographic rainfall and experiences cooler temperatures than the surrounding lowlands, with nighttime readings dropping below 10°C during the dry season. The southeastern forest region around N'z\u00e9r\u00e9kor\u00e9 has a more equatorial climate with extended rains and lush vegetation.

Upper Guinea in the northeast has a Sudanese savanna climate with a single rainy season and a prolonged dry period marked by harmattan winds and high temperatures exceeding 38°C. The contrast between Guinea's four natural regions creates complex weather patterns that can vary enormously over short distances. Weather Scope offers comprehensive weather monitoring and forecasts for Guinea's diverse climate zones, helping communities across the country prepare for heavy rainfall, flooding, and seasonal extremes.
