The climate of Cap Skirring (Senegal)
Cap Skirring is located in the most southwestern part of Senegal in
the Ziguinchor region on the Atlantic Ocean. Cap Skirring used to be a
fishing village but during the second part of last century it became a
popular tourist destination. Several resorts can be found here as well
as an 18 hole golf course. The city has its own airport. Most tourists
travel here to spend the winter which is reflected by the average age
of the tourists. Just like Ziguinchor which is located somewhat
further into the interior Cap Skirring has a tropical savannah climate
influenced by the Atlantic Ocean. There is one distinct rainy7 period
from June till October. During this rainy period humidity figures may
rise. From November till April a Harmattan wind may blow. This type of
wind supplies dry and dusty air from the Sahara.

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:
