The overall breezes are likewise described by their starting point: the dry breezes that begin in the mainland inside and the wet oceanic breezes that bring the downpours.
The dry breezes, now and again called the dry rainstorm, comprise of the upper east exchange winds. In winter and spring, when they are most grounded, they are known as the harmattan. They bring no precipitation separated from an extremely light downpour, which the Wolof nation of Senegal call the heug.

As the ITCZ returns toward the south starting in September, the blustery season attracts nearby. The sluggish north-south relocation of the ITCZ brings about a more extended, heavier stormy season in the southern piece of the country.
From the blend of these variables, three head environment zones might be recognized: seaside, Sahelian, and Sudanic.
