Climate
Temperatures in Kidira can reach 40 °C between March and June due to the Harmattan, dry winds that blow from the east. The southwest monsoon then brings the rainy season in August and September. During the winter months, temperatures are more moderate, averaging around 23 °C. The strong easterly winds contribute significantly to soil erosion in the region.
