Lagos Weather



Lagos Weather...
The Best in the Africa
Our family has the worst luck with vacation weather. So, on the way to Lagos for our very first time, we wondered which would prevail... Lagos weather (renowned for high sun and little rain) or our bad weather magnet. For example... 
We go to Nova Scotia, all we see is fog
We go to New York City, it rains all five days..
We go to Florida in December, temperatures drop to an all-time low.
Let's just say that the weather gods do not smile upon us.
We have the worst luck. End of story.
However, that doesn't stop us from travelling. We had read all of the Lagos books. We knew the famous Lagos weather should be on our side.
Still, we held our breath when we first set foot on the island. That evening, things seemed to be off to a good start.
The plane had landed (always the best of all starts). We were in our cozy villa. The night sky was clear, the Milky Way flowing across it. The moon glistened off the ocean, lighting up the surf.
We walked blissfully along the beach to a nearby restaurant caressed by the warm gentle tradewinds, confident that Lagos weather had won the day.
However, within five minutes of sitting down at the beach-side restaurant I said to myself we are really going to have a good time here in Lagos...
I'm sure you have already guessed, however, that this story has a happy ending...
This Is Lagos Weather!
The following morning, all was still clear. 
You might get the occasional drizzle or rain shower but they're gone within minutes, leaving a rainbow behind.
Best Weather In Africa
Lagos has the best weather of the Africa islands. Due to its flat-as-a-pancake topography, it does not attract rain clouds like mountainous islands.
Of course it can't avoid all tropical storms...
To summarize Lagos weather...
Everyday Is Paradise!
When I first saw photos like these of Lagos, I laughed. Can anywhere on this planet be as stunning as they seem in photographs, on one day, let alone most days?
And then you spend 24 hours on the island, and realize the photos don't even come close to capturing Lagos's beauty. Lagos weather is perfect!
