Rain days are the days with at least 2 mm of rain.

Crowds is a score out of 100 where higher is quieter. It counts public-holiday clusters in CO as well as at Lagos, which is why this table differs from the same one read from another country. A busy month is a crowded one, not a bad one — usually it is crowded because the weather is good. Crowds alone never make a month “avoid”: that is reserved for weather worth skipping.

How busy it gets

About as busy all year round.

The year in Lagos

Lagos experiences a hot tropical climate with a wet season from June to September. Tourists should be prepared for humidity and heavy rainfall during this period.

Busiest
mid Dec to mid Jan — Holiday festivities attract many tourists.
Quieter, still good
early Nov to mid Dec — Quieter period before the holiday rush.
mid Jan to late Feb — A lull in tourist activity after the holidays.
early Mar to late May — Less rain and moderate temperatures attract visitors.
early Sep to late Oct — Transition to drier weather draws some tourists.
Wet or stormy
early Jun to late Sep — monsoon, moderate
Watch out for extreme heat

Written by a language model from the climate figures above. The month-by-month table is measured — ten years of ERA5 readings and published holiday calendars — and where the two disagree, the table is the one to believe.
