Cameroon’s climate changes with latitude and elevation. Coastal areas receive intense rainfall, while the northern regions experience a longer dry season. Between them are highlands and plateaus with their own weather patterns.
For farmers, travellers, builders, and families planning daily work, these differences are practical knowledge. Climate is read through clouds, roads, planting calendars, rivers, and the timing of markets. A map of rainfall is therefore also a map of lived experience.
