April in Accra: expect compromises

Days in April average 28°C (82°F) and humidity near 85% — front-load outdoor plans before the heat builds and treat the middle of the day as indoor time.

This is the year's wettest stretch at 206 mm, but with about 20 days with 6+ hours of sunshine it is not a total loss; an indoor fallback covers the risk.

That is 3.6/10 on the same scale — 10th of 12 months, versus 7.1/10 for the best month here.

Pack the lightest breathable clothing you own, a hat, and more water than feels necessary, a proper rain shell rather than an umbrella.

Budget for low-season pricing, and crowds are light for this destination.

If your dates are flexible, December is materially better in Accra — 3.5 points higher on the same scale.
