The climate of Kololi (Gambia)
Kololi is located in the western part of Gambia on the Atlantic coast.
Kololi is one of the most important tourist attractions in Gambia and
is a very vibrant town during high season. The many beach bars and
restaurants make this a very nice place to stay for any tourist. The
local population sells all kinds of local products and art objects on
the local market. Kololi is completely surrounded by the Bijilo
forest.
Just like the rest of Gambia Kololi enjoys a tropical savannah
climate. The climate can be divided into two parts. The rainy season
is from the second part of June till the second part of October; the
wettest month is August. During the dry period temperatures are high.
However, temperatures here are not as high as in the interior because
of the tempering effect of the northeasterly trade wind. Because of
this influence temperatures drop during the evening which means you do
not need air conditioning during the night.

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:
