Lome Weather in November

November: warm, humid days

November feels warm and sticky in Lomé, with a high of 29°C and humidity at 83%. Rain falls on 13 days, but showers are usually easier to work around than October's heavier wet spell. You'll still get plenty of sunshine for a walk along the beachfront or a visit to the National Museum of Togo.

Save long outdoor plans for clearer spells, and don't count on every beach afternoon staying dry. A covered stop at the Grand Marché gives you somewhere to browse if rain rolls in. The market's stalls can be crowded and lively, so take your time moving through them.

A quieter month before December

November is generally calmer than December and January, when drier weather draws more visitors. You may find better-value stays than in those popular months, though prices vary by hotel. The run-up to Christmas can also bring more people into town as December approaches.

If you hate crowds, November can suit you better than the holiday season. All Saints' Day falls on November 1 and is observed in Togo; some businesses may close or keep shorter hours. Don't expect a major tourist festival to fill the city this month.

Make room for showers

Travelling with kids? Keep a flexible plan, so a passing shower doesn't derail the day. Lomé's broad streets can collect water after rain, which may slow a taxi ride. Leave extra time if you're heading across town.

For a local stop, visit the Monument de l'Indépendance near the centre, then try fufu, a soft cassava dish, at a nearby eatery. If the afternoon turns wet, the Musée National's indoor displays make a useful change of pace. November is a good month for a city break, as long as you leave beach plans flexible.
