The climate of Kotu Beach
According to shopareview, Kotu Beach (also called Kuto Point) is located in the west of The Gambia, on the Atlantic coast. Kuto is a small but increasingly popular touristic place. Kuto is becoming so popular due to its location on the mangrove forest with its special and unique bird population. But of course also for its beautiful, extensive beaches, which are decorated by palm trees. Small lagoons have formed between the palm trees and the larger beaches, giving you the impression that you are on a private beach. The entertainment area is not very big, but there are a few bars and restaurants right around the hotels.
According to shoppingpicks, Kuto has a tropical savanna climate, with a clear rainy season. This rainy period lasts approximately from mid-May to mid-October and has its peak in August. The rest of the year it is pleasantly warm, with occasional peaks well into the 30 degrees Celsius. However, this rarely happens because the climate is tempered by the northeast trade. In general, the days are sunny during this period and a dry cooler breeze blows in Kotu in the evening.
