About Dakar weather

Dakar is in Senegal at 14.69°, -17.44°. Right now it’s 28° and partly cloudy; today’s high is 29° with a 0% chance of rain.

Senegal has a tropical climate with a distinct dry season from November to May and a wet season from June to October driven by the West African Monsoon. Dakar, perched on the Cap-Vert peninsula, benefits from cooling Atlantic breezes that keep temperatures between 18-31°C, making it one of the more temperate West African capitals. The coastal location also brings higher humidity and occasional sea fog during the cooler months.
