The climate of Bangui (Central African Republic)
Bangui is the capital of the Central African Republic and is located in the southern part of the country on the banks of the Ubangi River. The border with the Democratic Republic of Congo is in the vicinity. Where safety is concerned Bangui has a bad reputation; only a few years ago the city was referred to as the most dangerous city in the world. This was mainly caused by the many coups and attacks by rebels.
Bangui has a tropical savannah climate with a distinct rainy season from May till October. Bangui gets more than 500 millimeters of annual precipitation on average. Bangui can record more than 2,000 annual hours of sunshine on average. July and August are the darkest months with 124 hours of sunshine per month. During the wet summers the lower parts of Bangui may flood. During the summer of 2009 heavy rainfall left more than 10,000 people homeless.

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:
