Lagos Climate

Lying on the Gulf of Guinea, Lagos has a tropical monsoon climate, hot and humid year-round with fairly steady temperatures of 26–32°C. Its defining feature is a clear split between wet and dry seasons: the rainy season runs from April to October, peaking in June and July with torrential, flood-prone downpours, broken by a short drier spell in August. The dry season (November–March) sees less rain but remains muggy, and at its peak the harmattan wind off the Sahara brings dust haze that lowers visibility. This page offers an hourly and 14-day forecast plus detailed metrics including humidity, wind, UV and air quality (AQI).

Frequently asked questions

How long is the rainy season in Lagos?

The wet season runs roughly April to October, strongest in June and July with heavy, often flooding downpours, interrupted by a short drier break in August.

How does the harmattan affect Lagos?

From about December to February the harmattan blows dry Saharan dust over the city, making the sky hazy, lowering humidity and noticeably worsening air quality (AQI).

Is it ever cold in Lagos?

No. Lagos is hot and humid all year, with temperatures rarely dropping below 22°C even at night; months differ mainly in rainfall, not temperature.

When is the best time to visit Lagos?

The late dry season into early wet season, roughly November to early March, is most comfortable thanks to lighter rain, though it stays hot with occasional harmattan dust.
