What to pack for Ghana in the summer

In the summer months, Ghana experiences a hot and humid climate, so it is important to pack lightweight and breathable clothing.

Opt for natural fabrics such as cotton or linen to help keep cool and comfortable. Loose-fitting clothing is also a good choice to allow for air circulation and prevent overheating. When it comes to traditional attire, men can consider packing a few pairs of lightweight trousers, tailored shirts, and comfortable sandals.

For women, lightweight dresses, skirts, and tops are ideal, along with a comfortable pair of sandals or flats. Both men and women should consider bringing a wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses to provide protection from the scorching sun. It is also important to pack clothing that covers the shoulders and knees when visiting religious sites or more conservative areas.

Additionally, don't forget to pack a few swimsuits if you plan to visit the coastal areas or take a dip in some of Ghana's beautiful beaches.

In the summer, Ghana experiences a hot and humid climate, with average temperatures ranging from 25°C to 32°C.

The country receives the majority of its annual rainfall during the summer months, with heavy downpours and occasional thunderstorms. The high humidity and precipitation create lush, green landscapes and provide essential water for agriculture.

However, the wet season can also bring flooding and water-borne diseases, making it a time of both growth and potential challenges for the people and environment of Ghana.
