The weather in Banjul is characterized by high temperatures and humidity throughout the year, causing barometric pressure to be relatively low, ranging from 1009 to 1013 millibars. When pressure drops, storms and heavy rainfall occur.

Banjul's low elevation near the Atlantic Ocean and its flat landscape allow winds to easily move in and bring changes in atmospheric pressure, making it highly variable. This variability leads to unpredictable weather patterns.

During the dry season from December to June, pressure is higher due to dry air from the Sahara Desert. In the wet season from July to November, pressure is lower because of moist air from the ocean. These pressure changes bring different types of weather.

Banjul has a tropical savanna climate, which means it experiences high temperatures and high humidity throughout the year. This climate causes large fluctuations in barometric pressure, resulting in frequent weather changes that residents and visitors experience.
