When to go
The best time to visit Liberia is
winter, especially in January and February, since they are the sunniest and least rainy months.
The
worst period is from May to October, although, between mid-July and late August, rainfall decreases significantly in the south.
What to pack
In
winter: in Monrovia and the northern coast, bring light clothes for the day, a light sweatshirt for the evening, and a scarf for the wind-borne sand and dust. In Greenville and the south coast, add an umbrella or a light raincoat. In inland areas, it may be useful to bring a sweatshirt and a jacket for the evening.
In
summer: bring tropics-friendly, light clothing of natural fibers, an umbrella (even though it is not useful for the most intense monsoon rains), a light sweatshirt and a light raincoat for the long and heavy downpours. In inland areas and mountain ranges, you can add a heavier sweatshirt for wet and rainy days.
