January's weather is significantly cooler compared to the preceding months of November and December, and considerably less hot than what the forthcoming months of February and March will bring. This cooling is due to the lowered intensity of the sun's rays during this period, which is attributable to the Earth's tilt.

It also results in low humidity levels, making it quite comfortable despite the warm temperatures during the day.

This is in stark contrast to the hazy conditions brought on by the Harmattan winds in the months leading up to January. The clear skies and cooler temperatures make this an optimal time for outdoor activities, including wildlife viewing and exploring the country's natural beauty.
