Editing Gaoua (section)

==Climate==
Gaoua has a [[tropical savanna climate]] ([[Köppen climate classification|Köppen]] ''Aw''), typical of [[Sudan (region)|the Sudan region]] of West Africa. The weather is hot year-round, and sweltering in the period before the rainy season begins from February to May. In the rainy season itself temperatures are less extreme due to increased cloud cover, but high humidity means this period is no less uncomfortable. At the height of the dry season in December and January temperatures remain hot to sweltering by afternoon, but humidity is at its lowest and mornings fall to pleasant temperatures.
