Ghana climate

Ghana is located in the tropics, and the climate is hot all year round, which is a typical tropical climate. Ghana's climate is mainly affected by tropical continental air masses blowing from the Sahara Desert and tropical maritime air masses blowing from the Atlantic Ocean. Tropical continental air masses (locally called Hamadan winds) are hot, dry, dusty trade winds coming from the northeast. Tropical marine air mass is the cool and moist monsoon coming from the southwest. The area where the two air masses meet has seasonal rainfall. The coastal plain and the southwestern Ashanti Plateau have a tropical rainforest climate, with dense forests under the influence of monsoons. The Volta Valley and northern plateau areas have a savanna climate. To the north of the Kwahu Plateau is the savanna area. There are no four seasons throughout the year, only drought and rainy seasons. The rainy season is from May to October, and the dry season is from November to April. The annual average temperature is 26-29℃. Due to its proximity to the equator, the entire territory has high temperatures all year round. The average monthly temperature ranges from 26°C in coastal areas to 29°C in inland areas. The highest temperature is in February to March, reaching 34°C. The cooler season is August to September, with the lowest temperature. The temperature is only 15℃. The average annual precipitation in the south and southwest is 1200--1800 mm, and the average annual precipitation in the northern region is 600--1200 mm.
