June weather forecast
Sierra Leone

June represents the heart of the rainy season in Sierra Leone, with rainfall levels reaching their peak.

The central and eastern regions, with their higher altitudes, may experience marginally cooler evenings, but the overall climate remains warm.

Compared to May, June experiences an upsurge in precipitation, which continues to escalate into July and August, marking the peak of the rainy season. The heavy rainfall can lead to challenging travel conditions, with potential disruptions due to flooding, particularly in low-lying areas. However, the rain also contributes to the spectacular flourishing of Sierra Leone's natural environment, creating vibrant landscapes that can be an unforgettable spectacle for nature lovers.

Given the intense rainfall and potential logistical challenges, June is considered a less popular month for tourism in Sierra Leone. However, for those willing to contend with the weather conditions, the rewards include witnessing the country at its most verdant and experiencing a lesser-known side of Sierra Leone's climate. Visitors during this time should be well-prepared for heavy rains and potentially high humidity.
