WEATHER AND CLIMATE IN NIGER

It's difficult to say when to go -- it's almost always uncomfortable -- but there are some times when you should definitely not go. Avoid April and May, when it's at its hottest, driest and dustiest. In the southwestern area (including Niamey), avoid the rainy season, June-September; October may be the worst month because it's hot and humid. The rainy season doesn't affect the Sahel region too severely -- it receives only 4 in/10 cm of rain annually, and that falls in short but violent thunderstorms (preceded by sandstorms). November through February are the coolest months (nights are generally quite pleasant), although the harmattan (an arid trade wind) blows the sand around quite a bit, particularly in November.
