SENEGAL IS A FLAT, low-lying arid country located on the westernmost cape of Africa. Bounded by the ATLANTIC OCEAN, MAURITANIA, MALI, GUINEA, and GUINEA BISSAU, Senegal has well-defined dry and rainy seasons. The wet season lasts from June to October, with occasional tornadoes usually followed by thunder, lightning, and wind squalls.
Annual rainfall ranges from 13 in (34 cm) in the extreme north to 61 in (155 cm) in the southwest. During the dry season, usually from December to February, southerly winds called harmattan, bring in dry and dusty air from the SAHARA DESERT; temperatures are cool at night and scorchingly hot during the day.
