Weather & When to Visit

Here is what to expect from Lagos weather through the year, and the best times to plan your stay.

Good to know: Lagos is warm all year, usually between 26 and 33 degrees.

The two seasons

Dry season (November to March)

The most comfortable time to visit, with sunshine and lower rainfall. Late December and January can bring the cooler, hazy harmattan.

Rainy season (April to October)

Warm and humid with heavy showers, heaviest around June and July. Rain is usually short but can cause traffic and flooding.

Planning your visit

Best time to come

November to February is ideal: dry weather and a lively festive season often called Detty December.

What to pack

Light, breathable clothing year round, plus a small umbrella or rain jacket in the wet months and sunscreen for the beach.

Tip: whenever you visit, build extra time into Island trips for traffic and rain.
