LOCATION INFORMATION
Abuja has a warm and humid rainy season, which lasts from April to October. The daily maximum temperatures are just under 30 degrees. In the dry season there is almost no rainfall and the temperatures rise to over 35 degrees in the months of February and March. The temperatures at night are not less than 20 degrees all year round. At the end of the dry season, around January to March, the Harmattan, a land breeze from the northeast, can transport large quantities of dust from the Sahara. This impairs visibility, burdens the respiratory tract and often leads to poorer mobile phone and satellite connections.
Basic medical care is provided by several doctors and clinics in Abuja who practice according to international standards.
