Climate Overview
Liberia has a tropical climate that is hot and humid year-round, with temperatures typically ranging from 22-30°C (72-86°F). The country experiences a distinct bimodal pattern: a long dry season from November to April bringing sunshine and drier conditions, and a long rainy season from May to October with heavy rainfall particularly June to September. Humidity is consistently high throughout the year due to the country's equatorial position and dense rainforest coverage. The Atlantic coastline benefits from sea breezes that moderate temperatures, while inland areas and the interior can be significantly hotter.
