Best time to visit Guinea-Bissau

While Guinea-Bissau is a popular destination to visit all year round, July-October is the ideal time to go due to a number of factors such as the climate, cost of travel and accommodation, as well as avoiding peak holiday periods.

The very hottest temperatures in Bissau, one of the most popular tourist destinations in Guinea-Bissau, tend to reach around 38℃ (100℉) in the height of summer. The weather at night in the winter, which is around August-time, can get down to a minimum of 21℃ (69℉) in Bissau. Other destinations in Guinea-Bissau can sometimes get even colder than this, so if you’re planning on visiting a few different places, make sure you check out the climate comparison table below.

The days are longest in Guinea-Bissau in March, so if you want to see the sights during the day when the sun is up for the longest time, it’s best to visit around that time of year. To stay dry, avoid travelling to Guinea-Bissau in August – It’s the wettest month of the year.
