During the raining season, we discover that the weather is always very cold, so as during the dry season (Aug - Dec) there is always a serious change in the weather, which we call harmattan. But I discover that this two different season are not so much different because it is always cold. What are the features that makes the harmattan different from the cold during raining season?

Cold: drink tea, hot pap
Haramttan: ogogoro, Jedi abbl

harmattan brings dust and almost no rain.
rainy season brings rain and no dust

Free movement of DUST makes the difference. Nothing more

Are you saying harmattan is a body painter

I don't think Nigeria (excluding Jos) experience cold at any time.

The rainy season is never cold but the humidity is usually high. Temperature in rainy season is usually about 27-30 degress.
During the 'harmattan', it is also not cold because the temperature is never below 20 degress. The very windy and dry(very low humidity) makes you think it's cold.

It gets really COLD when the humidity is very high, windy(about 40Km/h) and temperature is not above 7 degrees. This you can't get anywhere in Nigeria.

My friend in Jos complains of too much cold and when I check the temperature there, it's usually just about 22 degrees.

Dust! Is the difference

yea

Rainy season- high humidity, high temperature during the day
Harmattan- low humidity, dry air and dusty, very low temperature at night and fair temperature during the day with winds.

yea

You are funny! Or let's simply say, it's the best make up artist

Harmattan cold is a wind blowing from the north (sahara) while rainy season cold is from south winds blowing from the sea.


I think thats the general explanation.
