Field notes
Drier and milder than Lagos thanks to the cooler Atlantic upwelling. Main wet season (April–June) brings the heaviest rain; brief second wet season (September–October). Harmattan (December–February) brings Saharan dust haze but is the driest, most comfortable window. Coastal breeze keeps the heat workable.
