Monrovia experiences a wet and dry tropical climate with high temperatures year-round, hovering consistently between 24°C and 31°C.

The city receives staggering rainfall totals during the wet season, with June through September seeing deluge-level precipitation that turns streets into temporary waterways.

Temperatures rarely fluctuate dramatically, but the combination of heat and near-constant humidity makes the air feel considerably warmer than the thermometer suggests.

Humidity levels remain oppressively high throughout the year, typically above 80%, which means cotton becomes your closest ally and synthetic fabrics your sworn enemy.

The red dust of Monrovia's unpaved roads during the dry season has a talent for coating shoes and lower trouser legs within minutes of leaving your door.
