Guinea-bissau Snapshot

Guinea-Bissau has two main seasons: wet and dry. From June to October expect heavy rains and hot steamy weather. To escape the heat, simply head inland and uphill. The dry season is the best time to visit - it’s still hot but low humidity makes the temperature feel milder. The downside is that the dusty harmattan winds blow at this time of year.
