February weather forecast
Burkina Faso

February in Burkina Faso signals the continuation of the cool dry season. However, the term "cool" is relative, as temperatures begin to rise gradually in comparison to January. Average temperatures hover between 19°C (66.2°F) at night and 35°C (95°F) during the day, with cities such as Ouagadougou experiencing these typical values.

As February progresses, Burkina Faso starts a slow transition towards the hot season, which peaks around April. Compared to January, both daytime and nighttime temperatures are generally higher in February. However, this rise in temperature is not drastic and the weather remains comfortable for travel and outdoor activities.

Similar to January, February is virtually devoid of rainfall across the country, which results in low humidity levels. Clear skies prevail, offering excellent visibility, barring the occasional hazy days due to the Harmattan wind. This wind, blowing from the Sahara Desert, continues to affect Burkina Faso in February, reducing visibility on some days and covering cities like Ouagadougou, Garghin, and Loumbila with fine dust.

Comparing February with the upcoming month, March, one would notice a significant shift in weather conditions. March marks the beginning of the hot season, with temperatures rising sharply. Thus, February represents the tail end of the more temperate weather before the country's climate starts to intensify.
