Best Time for the Accra & the Gold Coast
Sweet spot: January, February, August — computed from NASA POWER climate normals across the route's overnight towns, balancing temperature, rainfall and daylight.
Harmattan season: dry, relatively cool, and festival-rich — December in Accra is one big homecoming party.
The heavier rains — coastal roads stay fine but Kakum's canopy walk is slicker and mosquitoes multiply.
