Best Time to Fly to Abuja

Abuja has three main weather patterns during the year, namely warm, humid-rainy and very dry and hot. Scattered between these major weather patterns are the North East Trade Winds. This brings dust haze mixed with very dry, cold conditions. The rainy season runs from April to October but days and nights are warm. During the dry season temperatures can reach 104 degrees Fahrenheit and it is very uncomfortable at this time of year. By contrast, the nights can drop to 53 degrees Fahrenheit. The Durbar festival at Katsina is a well-known celebration at the Islamic Eid holiday. The annual film festival is held in September.

The very hot weather during the dry season (October to April) deters many visitors at this time of the year. This means that travelers willing to embrace the extreme heat, may be able to get a good deal on both airfare and hotel rooms. Avoid festival dates, as fares and rates increase at this time, as with the Eid celebrations and Christmas holiday periods.
