Geography
Geography
Kidira is located in eastern Senegal on the Falémé River, which forms part of the border with Mali. Two bridges, a road bridge and a railway bridge, connect the town with Diboli, across the border in Mali. Kidira is located about 600 km east of the capital, Dakar. It is one of three towns in the Bakel Department, along with Bakel and Diawara.
Climate
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.
