January weather forecast
Togo

January marks the height of the dry season in Togo, with average temperatures ranging from 23°C (73.4°F) in the north to 29°C (84.2°F) in the south. Lomé, the capital city located in the south, experiences typical temperatures around 29°C (84.2°F), with little rainfall. It is the driest month of the year for Lomé, with average rainfall less than 10mm (0.39"), significantly lower compared to 50mm (1.97") in December and approximately 30mm (1.18") in February. The harmattan wind, blowing from the Sahara, is particularly prevalent during this month, leading to lower humidity and creating an atmosphere that is dry and dusty. This wind can reduce visibility and impact air quality, which travelers should take into consideration when planning their visit.

In the northern region of Togo, specifically in cities like Dapaong, the weather is relatively cooler in January with an average temperature around 23°C (73.4°F). This region experiences virtually no rainfall during this month, a condition that persists from the previous month, December, and extends into the following month, February. These northern parts are generally drier than the south throughout the year due to their semi-arid climate, but the difference is especially noticeable during this month.

As such, January is not characterized by any extreme values, but it is noteworthy for being one of the driest and dustiest months due to the influence of the harmattan wind. Despite the cooler temperatures, the reduced humidity can make the heat more bearable, especially when compared to the rainy season, making it an appealing time for those seeking to explore the country's diverse landscapes and culture.
