10. Sokoto (Nigeria)

Average annual temperature (Weatherbase and WWIS): 28.47 °C – 83.25 °F

Sokoto will be the only city from Nigeria on this list, but it won’t be the only city from the region as you’ll soon find out. Positioned in country’s far north-western corner, the city is a home to more than 430,000 people. It used to be the capital of defunct Northwestern State which now bears the name of the city. Of course, Sokoto is still the capital. Dry Sahel zone surrounded by savannas is what determines Sokoto’s climate. Average temperatures here reach their maximum during April when it’s 33.75 °C or 92.75 °F outside. Opposite to that, the minimum annual temperature of 24.5 °C or 76.1 °F exhibits itself during year’s first month of January.
