Return to Water in Africa

Benin's coastal climate is equatorial, with two rainy seasons. The north has an arid tropical climate, with more variations in temperature, and only one rainy season. From November to February, the dry, dusty harmattan winds blow sands across the sky, painting striking colors at sunrise and sunset.
