Weather and Climate

Unlike most regions in Cameroon, the Mbonge Council Area has a typical equatorial climate with two major seasons which are the rainy and the dry seasons. During the dry season the 15 climate is hot and dry, meanwhile in the rainy season, the climate is cold and humid. In the past the rainy season occurred from March to October and the dry season from November to February. But with the present climate change the seasons have not respected their schedule in the recent years. The area has been experiencing drastic changes as rains have come earlier and the dry season has also experienced some unexpected rains. For instance, rainfall was experienced right up to December in 2010 instead of October as was the case in the past. This has altered the planting and production seasons of cash and food crops, as well as other economic activities.
