December weather forecast
Burkina Faso

December in Burkina Faso continues the dry season, with minimal rainfall and cooler temperatures. Cities such as Ouagadougou, Garghin, and Saonre generally see average temperatures from 16°C (60.8°F) at night to 31°C (87.8°F) during the day. This makes December one of the coolest months of the year, providing a respite from the intense heat that characterizes much of Burkina Faso's climate.

When compared to November, December brings a further decrease in temperature, particularly noticeable during the night. Rainfall remains negligible, ranging from 0mm (0") to 3mm (0.12"), maintaining the arid conditions prevalent in the dry season. The continued influence of the Harmattan wind contributes to the decrease in temperature, making December feel cooler than the previous months.

The low temperatures and dry conditions of December present a stark contrast to the hotter and wetter months earlier in the year. The Harmattan wind continues to affect visibility due to the dust and sand it carries from the Sahara Desert.

Moving into January, temperatures rise slightly, but the dry conditions persist as Burkina Faso remains within the dry season. Consequently, December in Burkina Faso is characterized by its cooler temperatures, minimal rainfall, and the prevalent Harmattan wind.
