Weather in December

December in Mali further amplifies the conditions of the dry season, with virtually no rainfall and moderately high temperatures. In the southern regions, including cities such as Bamako and Sikasso, temperatures typically range from 29°C (84.2°F) to 33°C (91.4°F). In contrast, the northern regions, closer to the Sahara, experience higher temperatures, generally around 33°C (91.4°F) to 37°C (98.6°F).

Rainfall in December is almost nonexistent across the entire country. The southern parts witness clear skies, while the northern regions, under the influence of their desert climate, remain arid. The dry Harmattan wind, carrying dust from the Sahara, can often create hazy conditions, affecting visibility and leading to cooler nights.

Compared to November, December offers similar temperatures and maintains the trend of virtually no rainfall, underlining the dominance of the dry season. As the year comes to an end, the landscapes gradually lose the green lushness from the rainy season, revealing the traditional arid and sandy terrains of Mali. Despite the dry and dusty conditions, December offers a unique perspective on Mali's climate, providing a clear window into the country's adaptation to the dry season.
