The climate of Jenoi (Gambia)
Jenoi is a small city located in central Gambia in the Jarra West
District in the Upper River region. Because of its situation close to
the river there is a high risk of malaria in this region. Just like
the rest of the Jarra West district Jenoi has a tropical savannah
climate with temperatures easily exceeding 40 degrees Celsius during
the hottest days. The year can be divided into two parts; a dry season
and a wet season. The dry period is from the second part of October
till the second part of June. This period is characterized by warm or
even hot days. The Harmattan makes it even feel warmer. This wind
carries sand from the Sahara and the Sahel sometimes limiting vision
to less than 50 meters. The rainy period is from the second part of
June till the second part of October with August as the wettest month.

More climate information
Climate figures are very useful but don’t present a general impression
of the climate and the eventual weather circumstances within a certain
period. The figures don’t always reflect the chance of wintry weather,
extreme heat or hurricanes. That is why we offer useful extra climate
information for each month of the year:
