What's the climate like in Nigeria all year round?

Nigeria has a savanna climate, which is generally hot and rainy. The whole year is divided into dry season and rainy season, with an average annual temperature of 26 ~ 27℃, 32.2℃ in coastal areas and 40.6℃ in the northernmost part.

From June 5438 to March every year, when the sun is in the southern hemisphere, the intertropical convergence zone is formed at 7 degrees north latitude. During this period, it was obviously affected by the northeast air mass, and the air was very dry.

During June+February-February, 5438, the dry and dusty Hamadan wind blew from the Sahara desert, which made the air cold and foggy and reduced visibility.

From April to September, the sun is in the northern hemisphere, the climate is humid, and intertropical convergence zone moves northward. In August, about 20 degrees north latitude, the humid southwest tropical ocean air mass and southeast monsoon entered the inland, bringing rainfall.
