Where should you go in Ghana in may when it comes to the weather?
Remember:
The climate in Ghana in may ranges from good to tolerable depending on the region and city.
That month is not the best month to go to in Ghana. The weather in Accra, Sekondi-Takoradi, Tema, Mole National Park, Akosombo and Tamale is quite correct. The sun is not there all the time and you risk you to be soaked by rain often. However, if you don't plan a beach and relaxation trip but rather discovery of heritage, this climate may be enough. In addition, there are certainly fewer tourists at this time of year.
It's much worse in Cape Coast and Kumasi and surrounding areas where the climate is very bad. We really do not recommend you to travel to these areas this month.
