How does Bioko’s rainy season differ from its dry season?

Bioko experiences an equatorial climate characterized by high temperatures and significant cloud cover throughout the year, with little variation in temperature between seasons.1

The primary distinction between the seasons on Bioko is the level of precipitation:

• Dry Season: This period occurs from November to March.1
• Rainy Season: The remainder of the year is classified as the rainy season.1

Regardless of the season, the island remains largely cloudy and overcast. Rainfall is particularly extreme in the southern part of the island, where monsoon winds can bring as much as 450 inches (11,400 mm) of rain annually to areas like San Antonio de Ureca.1
