Climate

Cameroon has a tropical climate with abundant rainfall to the south and it gets drier as one goes north. Coastal areas get an average of 4060mm of rain. The exposed slopes of Mt Cameroon get constant rainfall (sometimes 10,160mm) making it one of the wettest regions of the world. Cameroon has its rainy season from July to October and it gets hot and dry between November and March. Temperatures vary between the north and south. The central grasslands are cooler compared to the rest of the country because of regular rainfall.

March is usually the hottest month and September and October the coolest. The four seasons are not very distinctly marked.
