Nigeria Weather
When you think of Nigeria weather, many people think as hot and dry but that is not necessarily the
case. Nigeria is located in the tropics and that means that it can be very humid and damp. There are
a total of four climate types which affect the weather in the region. Those are the equatorial monsoon
or tropical rainforest climate, tropical Savannah climate, tropical dry climate and Alpine climate. The
weather that you will see in Nigeria depends on where in the country you are. You will see the changes
in the climate the moment that you move from one area to the next. Nigeria is not a small country so
therefore it can take some time to experience all four types of climate.
1. Tropical Rainforest
The tropical rainforest climate, which is also called the equatorial monsoon, can be found to the south
of Nigeria. This type of Nigeria weather sees a lot of influence from the South Atlantic Ocean which
originates monsoons which are brought to the region by tropical air masses. There are small changes
in the temperatures throughout the year. Warri Town, for example, has the highest average
temperature at 28 Celsius (82.4 Fahrenheit) while the coldest month sees an average temperature of
26 Celsius (78.8 Fahrenheit).
