What to pack for Burkina Faso in the spring

For a trip to Burkina Faso in the spring, it is important to pack lightweight and breathable clothing due to the high temperatures.

Light colored, loose-fitting clothing made of natural fibers such as cotton or linen will help keep you cool and comfortable in the hot weather. It is also a good idea to bring a wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses to protect yourself from the sun's strong rays.

Additionally, modest clothing is important in Burkina Faso, so it is essential to pack clothing that covers your shoulders and knees. This will help you to respect local customs and traditions. In the evenings, it can cool down a bit, so it is wise to bring a light jacket or sweater for those cooler temperatures.

Lastly, don't forget to pack comfortable walking shoes for exploring the country's many attractions and sights.

In the spring, Burkina Faso experiences hot temperatures and low humidity, with occasional dust storms and strong Harmattan winds blowing in from the Sahara Desert.

Rain showers may occur, especially in the southern part of the country, bringing relief from the dry season and helping to support agricultural activities.

Overall, the climate during spring in Burkina Faso is warm and dry, with some variation in precipitation depending on the region.
