One page for Dakar climate: monthly averages, sourced from public APIs and refreshed automatically. Expect 20.5 C at the coldest (Feb) and 28.2 C at the warmest (Oct) — a 7.7 C spread. Expect a wet season rather than rain year-round: Aug brings 6.17 mm/day against 0.08 mm/day in May. Taken together that is roughly 553 mm of rain a year for the grid cell. Values come from a public open API; a successful result is cached so a later outage never blanks the page. Exact monthly values are in the table; links below cover adjacent locations and years.

What the Dakar climate table shows
Values are multi-decadal climatological averages for the 14.6937, -17.4441 grid cell, not a single year. Rain is the daily mean, so a value of 2.00 mm/day is about 60 mm across a 30-day month. Averages smooth over extremes, so use them for planning rather than for what to pack for next Tuesday.
Frequently asked questions
How much rain is 6.17 mm/day in a month?
Rain is recorded as a daily mean, so 6.17 mm/day is roughly 188 mm across a 30-day month.
Does Dakar get the same every year?
Close to it. Averaging decades smooths variation, so treat these as typical rather than guaranteed.
