When to go
The best time to visit Ghana is generally the winter, from
December to February, since it is the driest and sunniest period of the year: the weather is generally good, although it's hot during the day in the center-north.
In the
north, the best time is from November to January because in February it gets even hotter. In November, the last rains occur in the south, and even in December on the west coast. So, the best month to visit Ghana as a whole is
January.
What to pack
In
winter: in Accra and the coast, bring light clothes for the day, a light sweatshirt for the evening, and a scarf for the wind-borne sand and dust. In the north, bring light clothing, a sweatshirt and a light jacket for the evening, and a scarf for the desert wind.
In
summer: bring tropics-friendly, light clothing of natural fibers, an umbrella, a light sweatshirt and a light raincoat for the rain showers.
