Ouagadougou is centrally located in Burkina Faso and is the most important city in the country. People from all over the country move to the capital in order to find a better existence.

Ouagadougou has a warm steppe climate with a dry season in which temperatures are high. The rainy season lasts for a few months, during this period temperatures are slightly lower. April is the warmest month with an average temperature of 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit). However, temperatures may even rise up to 47-48 degrees Celsius (114-116 degrees Fahrenheit).

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:
