j'ai bien envie de partir au Senegal l'hiver prochain. Je croix que je logerai à Saly. Quel temps fait il? Mes vacances en géneral se résument à plage, piscine, piscine, plage 😉 est ce qu'il fait assez beau en février pour se prélasser sur une chaise longue toute la journée?
J'hesite entre l'hotel Neptune, le teranga et l'espadon. Qui peut me conseiller?
Bonjour,
Vous serez toujours la bienvenue au Sénégal quelque soit le moment, la date et l'heure où vous arrivez.A l'aéroport Léopold Sédar Senghor de Dakar règne une sécurité que l'on ne trouve nulle part ailleurs avec une population très accueillant et c'est d'ailleurs pourquoi on parle de pays de la " Téranga"... Alors soyez rassurée, n'importe qu'elle heure vous arrivez au Sénégal vous craignez rien..que du bonheur...
Bon séjour

que veux tu dire par "froid" lindoudou? Peut etre que le froid sénégalais n'a pas la même signification chez nous!!! Quelle temperature(+-) peut on esperer sur la cote à cette période?
oh la la!!!! je croix que je vais partir comme chaque hiver à Agadir alors.
Je croyais qu'il ferait plus chaud que ça au senegal 😕
enfin merçi beaucoup pour ta réponse
le climat en février est de loin le meilleur, très agréable la journée, un peu plus frais le soir ce qui permet d'avoir de bonnes nuits sans une clim sur la tronche toute la nuit.
tu pourras te prélasser à loisir sur ton transat, aucun souci pour la baignade, plus fraîche qu'en mars/avril mais franchement agréable.
peu de moustiques ce qui est de plus voir presque pas.
bon séjour au sénégal, tu devrais adorer c'est une chouette pays vraiment
vava
ne ten faite pas le temps sera abordable ici et tu sera la bien venue tu sera dans quelle localitéé du senegal car moi j habite dans les iles du salom précisement dans l ile de niodior
le climat au sénégal est de loin plus sympa en février qu'à agadir
je connais aussi bien l'un que l'autre et aucune comparaison, à agadir en fevrier tu peux avoir de mauvaises suprises, au sénégal ca m'étonnerait
si tu as besoin de quelques bonnes adresses sur place n'hésites pas j'y vais 3 fois par an je connais bien saly
vava
merçi oui j'aurais besoin de quelque petits conseils.
J'hesite entre 3 hotels: le neptune, le teranga et l'espadon. Lequel est le mieux? Propreté et surtout situation: belle plage, près du centre???
En général ces hotels sont demi pension. Est il conseilé de manger à l'extérieur??? J'avoue qu'avant je ne me méfiait pas du tout mais depuis que j'ai eu une intoxication alimentaire (j'ai cru mourrir!!!🤪) lors d'un séjour à Marrakech j'ai très peur de manger en dehors des hotels. Que me conseilez vous?
salu magakris pr le temp en fevrier pas de probleme cela fait 3fois que ji vai a cette epoque jamais u de pluie temperature agreable a dakar je mi sui baigner a coté de la base militaire 23em bima par contre a saly j ai mi la clim en pleine journee ; ji retourne fin octobre 2010 debut novenbre FILOU 64
bonsoir
concernant les hôtel dans l'ordre je dirais ESPADON en premier sans hésitation ensuite NEPTUNE et ensuite TERANGA
mais ESPADON aucune mauvaise suprise jolie plage parfaitement aménagée petite piscine mais conviviale et idéalement située avec une jolie vue mer et les chambres sont impeccables et décorées avec goût de plus l'ESPADON est une très bonne table c'est de loin un des plus bels hôtels de SALY
de plus l'ESPADON est parfaitement situé si justement tu comptes diner en ville le soir tu es complétement centrée
concernant les restos tu as quelques bons petits resto à SALY ou tu peux aller sans aucun soucis les yeux fermés
dans le désordre et des tarifs variables
la riviera resto européens juste à 2 pas de l'espadon (y aller le samedi une bonne animation)
à l'étage de la RIVIERA un resto marocain on y mange un merveilleux couscous (attention très copieux un pour 2 suffit largement)
le SOLEIL on y mange bien (y aller le samedi y a un petit groupe musical sympa) (en centre ville grande façade jaune en forme de soleil tu ne peux pas le rater)
la pirogue un petit resto mignon pas cher du tout et les meilleures brochettes de lotte de saly à un prix défiant toute concurrence 2500 CFA la brochette énorme (depuis l'espadon tu t'y rends pas la plage en remontant vers NIAKH NIAKHAL une jolie ballade)
l'étage juste bon pour une pizza ca vaut ce que ca vaut comme endroit mais tu peux y manger sans risque (juste derrière la riviera une grande terrasse en étage situé sur la place de l'hôtel bougainvilliers
le petit ZINC une bonne petite table dans le centre de SALY en face de SMO tu peux ty rendre à pied depuis ton hôtel sans souci à 2 pas
chez POULO à Saly NIAKH NIAKHAL (prendre un taxi) une bonne petite table sénégalaise on y mange bien bonne ambiance à ne pas manquer non plus
le coulang un petit resto sympa tenu par un français en bord de plage dans SALY VILLAGE à faire et le patron est un chic type on y mange très bien
le PARADOU une bonne table (prendre un taxi) (un super pavé de lotte au curry) on y mange très bien un peu plus cher mais de bonne qualité
ensuite tu as des petits snacks
et tu as aussi le PONTON qui est le resto de l'hotel espadon mais une table un peu chère à mon goût
au sénégal tu peux tout manger les resto font relativement attention
refuses systématiquement les glaçons dans tes boissons évites de manger des glaces et évites les salades et crudités en dehors de ton hôtel manges des aliments qui se cuisent et ca devrait aller sans soucis
si tu as besoin d'un taxi sur place je te laisserai le tel d'un gars bien et surtout un bon chauffeur quand tu verras l'état des routes sur place tu comprendras mieux ce que je veux dire
les gens sont majoraitairement très sympas et ouverts à la discussion attention aux "faux amoureux" "aux dragueurs" en tout genre ne succombes pas trop facilement à la tentation restes sur tes gardes enfin si tu connais bien agadir tu connais la musique c'est à peu de chose près le même JINGLE ce qui n'empêche pas qu'au sénégal il y aussi de belles et vraies histoires d'amour mais une petite pincée de méfiance ne fait jamais de mal
bon prochain séjour
vava
Salut ce que je pourrais vous dire est que le temps est chaud et sec a l'intérieur du pays par contre un climat plus ou moins frais en bordure de l'océan;donc ilfait bon vivre en ce moment si tu effectuais ce voyage.
Salut
Nous vous conseillerons d'aller a saly que d'aller a Teranga. A Saly c'est naturel c'est calme en face de la mer, alors qu'a Teranga c'est en pleine ville, trop de bruit, atmosphére polué. En février c'est quand même bon mais le mieux c'était Novembre décembre, et janvier.Merci bodian_p@yahoo.fr
Je pars à saly le 23 mai et j'aimerais savoir si cet année il fera pas plus froid que les autres années en mai. Si des personnes peuvent me renseigné sur le…
Comme mon titre l'indique je voudrais savoir le temps et la température qu'il fait en ce moment à saly, car j'y vais fin mai pour une semaine et je m'inquiète…
Hi,
We're leaving on June 19th for an 8-day road trip in South Iceland. I've heard that even in summer, it's cold and the weather can change several times a day. Should we mainly pack winter gear, like a K-Way, fleece, down jacket, beanie, etc.?
For those who’ve experienced it, what’s the weather like in Shanghai at the end of December?
I’ve heard it’s cold, but coming from France, is the winter milder than in Lyon, for example?
I’m tempted to spend the Christmas holidays in Shanghai and the surrounding areas (Nanjing, Suzhou) with my family—kids are 11 and 2. It’d be a bummer if the little one catches a cold over there.
Generally, is this a good time for simple family visits to the main spots, restaurants in the city, indoor heating, and outdoor walks?
Bonjour à tous, j envisage de partir visiter l île de Maurice qui peut me donner son avis pour choisir la période ? Mon séjour serait plus pour avril, mai ou juin.... Pour vous quel mois choisir pour avoir les meilleurs conditions pour plages, bronzette et visites de l île ? Merci !
Hi,
we’re planning to travel through Patagonia (Chile and Argentina) in February and March 2027.
From a seasonal and weather perspective, at that time of year and with hiking as our main activity, is it better to explore Patagonia from south to north or the other way around?
Thanks in advance.

I’ve planned a three-week itinerary for this summer, from August 9 to 27, in Sri Lanka:
Negombo – 1 night
Sigiriya and the Cultural Triangle – 4 nights
Kandy – 2 nights
Ella – 3 nights
Tangalle – 6 nights
Colombo Airport – 1 night
I know this isn’t the ideal time for the south since the beach conditions aren’t great, but we’ve booked a hotel with a pool and won’t be swimming in the sea. We want to relax after all the travel since we’re bringing our two kids, aged 6 and 8.
I know the east would be better, but (i) I’m struggling to find suitable accommodation, and (ii) it adds a lot of travel time, and my kids can only handle about 3 hours at a stretch.
I looked into Arugam Bay, but it’s a 7-hour trip back to Colombo from there.
I’ve checked every weather site imaginable, but they don’t all agree. Do you think we’ll spend our whole trip in the rain, or is the monsoon in the south mostly limited to the sea, as I’ve read?
I’m worried about ending up in the middle of a natural disaster with my two young kids, given recent events.
hi
After reading quite a few posts and buying a guidebook, I’m still struggling to finalize my suitcase.
Given that we’ll be visiting both islands during our road trip and suitcases aren’t exactly expandable,
I’ve noted that temperatures can be changeable—but should I pack more winter clothes than summer ones?
Thanks for your help
We’ve decided to go to Skopelos for 2 weeks at the end of April. What kind of weather should we expect? Any special things to know about this remote island?
Thanks for your tips
Hi there. On my itinerary from São Luís to Jericoacoara, I’ll be passing through the Lençóis. Is there any point stopping there this time of year? Apparently, the lagoons are dry, but aside from the lagoons, is the surrounding landscape still interesting enough to warrant a 1- or 2-day stop? Thanks in advance for your help.
Hi,
We’ve booked our flight tickets and we’re leaving from October 29th to November 13th for Mauritius.
I just reserved our accommodation in Cap Malheureux.
We’re used to hot and especially very sunny destinations like Oman, Jordan, Uzbekistan...
If you can reassure me about the period—can we expect sunny weather? I’m really dreaming of discovering Le Morne Brabant under beautiful sunshine...
Thanks
Hi everyone,
I need to go to Sri Lanka at the end of January.
I’ve seen that many roads, hotels, and parks were closed after the cyclone, which unfortunately caused a lot of damage.
Does anyone have more information?
Would it be wiser to postpone our trip?
Thanks, Alain.
Hi,
I’m planning a trip to Oman, probably the first half of February to avoid the extreme heat and Ramadan.
But after checking various weather sites and reading accounts, I’m a bit worried about rain, which can apparently be frequent and heavy in February. I’d love to hear from travelers or locals who’ve been there recently.
What would be the ideal month to explore Oman without extreme heat or rain? November?
Also, it’s best to avoid visiting the wadis on weekends—does that mean Saturday and Sunday?
This year, 2026, I can only get away in April and May. I never travel during these months usually, and from what I know, they aren’t the best for India. But in such a big country, there are always spots that are better than others weather-wise.
Which region would you recommend?
Given that I’ve already traveled quite a bit in this country, and in any case, I’ll be discovering places I don’t know yet. No need for a major tourist hotspot or luxury comfort.
Hi everyone,
We’d love to return to India next year for 3 weeks (we visited Rajasthan about fifteen years ago). Unfortunately, we’re tied to traveling in September, and our initial plan was to explore Himachal Pradesh. However, it seems like that might not be the best month for this region.
Could you share your experiences from that time of year in Shimla, Manali, Dharamsala, or even the Spiti Valley—in short, anywhere in Himachal Pradesh? Otherwise, which region of India would you recommend for a September trip?
Thanks so much!
Hi everyone, I’m planning a trip from mid-January to the end of February but I just can’t make up my mind 😕
I’ve looked into a few different options: Brazil, Cambodia, and Ecuador. The last one really appeals to me, but what’s making me hesitate is the risk of our trip being a bit too rainy (literally ),
We’re more drawn to the Andes, exploring colonial cities, typical villages, markets, and a bit of the coast. We’ve already gotten a taste of this in Bolivia, Colombia, and Chile. Plus, we’d love to do part of it by car since we’re used to driving at our own pace and stopping whenever we feel like it. Anyway, time’s running out, and I need to decide so I can finalize a route and book the tickets!!
Can anyone help me make up my mind or decide to postpone it for later? But for this year, I don’t have any other time slot to travel. Thanks for reading this far! !
I’ve planned a trip to Asia for the first half of November.
I’ll arrive in Singapore at the start of November for about 3 days, and I’ll leave from Bangkok in mid-November.
In between, I’d like to gradually head north to visit some less touristy islands on the Thai coast.
Since the weather is a big risk during this period, I’d love to hear your recommendations.
I’m looking for: sunshine, snorkeling, beaches, nature / jungle in places that are easily accessible without too much transport to make the most of my trip.
Bonjour,
Nous souhaitons visiter Porto à mi février pendant 5 jours.
est ce que le climat est quand même sympas?
J'hésite entre Porto ou Lisbonne?
Merci
Hi there,
We’re planning a trip to Chile this coming August and would love to head down to Chiloé. We’ve heard that as we go further south at this time of year, the weather gets pretty rough.
What’s the weather like in Chiloé in late August/early September? What activities can we do? And which ones become really tricky because of the weather?
Thanks in advance for your tips!

So great to be back on this forum after being away for—I don’t even know what!
I’m planning a trip to Malaysia in July with my 5-year-old son. The thing is, I’m not sure which coast to choose. AI keeps telling me east one minute and west the next. Which spot is least affected by rain during this time?
Hey everyone! 🙂
Just giving you the quick context: A group of friends and I are planning a trip to South Korea (Seoul/Busan) at the end of June/July next year. It falls right in the middle of the monsoon season, but we don’t really have other availability options.😕
I’d love to hear from people who’ve visited the country and these cities during this period—basically, is it not as bad as it sounds, or should we just cancel our tickets (we don’t mind the heat, it’s mostly the rain that scares us).
I know there are plenty of indoor activities, but do you think we’ll still manage to get a few sunny days, or will it be torrential rain for our entire 2-week trip?
The only other country we’ve visited during the rainy season is Brazil (in the northeast) around the same time, and honestly, aside from a few really annoying downpours, we had sunshine most of the time and it was awesome. That said, the climate is totally different, so I’m not sure how relevant the comparison is.
Thanks in advance to anyone who takes the time to read or reply to this post! 🙂
Hi everyone.
Not sure if guidebooks, agencies, and other tour operators are keeping up by changing their visiting hours and offerings.
Personally, I see a promising opportunity here—jumping on this adaptation to extreme climates before others do, since they’re inevitably coming.
From my own travel experience, I’ve met a few guides so far who are starting to adjust, like in Egypt, Kenya, Senegal, and elsewhere.
They avoid crowds and the hottest hours by starting their tours around 6–7 AM, when it’s cooler.
Yeah, you’ve gotta wake up early, but the payoff is so worth it. 😴
If you’ve got any great tips like this, why not discuss them in this thread and share addresses or websites where the people in charge have realized climate change is real and are adapting? 😊
Hi there,
I’m planning a trip to Namibia in 2026.
I’m torn between visiting the Fish River Canyon and the Caprivi Strip / Victoria Falls.
I’d also love your advice on the best time to travel for wildlife viewing and pleasant weather.
I haven’t chosen a tour operator yet... since I’m traveling solo, I’d prefer a small-group escorted trip. Has anyone traveled with a local agency and what’s your feedback or advice?
Thanks so much!
I’m taking a month-long trip to northern Argentina throughout September. Buenos Aires, Iguazu, Salta, Humahuaca, Cafayate, and if time allows, La Rioja. I’m unsure about what clothes to pack. What are the temperatures like in September?
Thanks for your great tips!

hi
It seems that in recent years, January and February in Bohol have seen an increase in rainy periods. Have any of you noticed this?
Thanks in advance for your replies
Hello, We’re heading to Finnish Lapland near Rovaniemi as a family at the end of February with two kids (8 and 14 years old). We’ve got direct flights with Luxairstours. The itinerary is already set, but I’m wondering if anyone has traveled with Luxair before and knows exactly what kind of clothes they provide on the second day? The agency just told me it’s a heavy-duty cold-weather suit. I’m thinking we should get Sorel Caribou boots, maybe second-hand. Here’s what I’ve already planned:
- Thermolactyl leggings and tights from Damart for the whole family as a base layer.
- A first layer of Damart socks + Nordic Stocks socks in 70% merino wool for all four of us.
- Loose fleece layers, including some Polartec.
- Ski pants for hikes.
- For my son and me, a The North Face Himalayan down parka with a hood.
- A ski parka for my husband and my 14-year-old daughter (she *really* wants a Roxy one—I hope it’ll be warm enough).
- For myself, for the flight and the first day at Santa’s village, I’ve packed The North Face winter hiking pants, a long-sleeve merino wool top from Decathlon (thin), a fleece, and my big parka.
I’m wondering if I should just pack fleece joggers or sweatpants for the kids and my husband, at least for the first and last days, to be comfortable on the plane?
I’m also planning to buy balaclavas and neck warmers in addition to our beanies, as well as mittens for all of us. I really need advice because I have no idea—I’ve never been skiing! Also, for a 4-night, 5-day trip, should I pack a second set of base layers, like from Odlo?
Of course, I’ll be leaving cotton clothes out of the suitcase.
As you can tell, I’m someone who gets cold easily—especially my feet, hands, and ears—so that’s my biggest worry. I *don’t* want to be cold, even at -20°C during dog sledding, snowmobiling, or aurora hunting when we might be standing still. We won’t be in the city, and the kids will likely spend most of their time outside, as they usually do.
Bonjour
J'envisage d'aller début août 10 jourd au Groenland.
Sauriez vous me dire à quel temps et température m'attendre?
J'ai entendu dire qu'il y a des moustiques?
Merci😊
Sunny destinations in October???
Not too much rain.
Martinique, Mexico, Dominican Republic, Mauritius, Cape Verde, or somewhere else?????
Any tips? Thanks for your help
Hi there, I’m planning a trip to Thailand from October 16 to 29, 2025, with my two teens.
We’d love to explore Southern Thailand (for the beaches...).
I’ve read that it’s the end of the rainy season—do you think it’s a bad idea or not?
Also, I’m familiar with traffic in Asian countries—it’s pretty challenging.
Do you think I should go through an agency for a well-defined itinerary?
Or do you have any tips for hotels and getting around?
Looking forward to hearing from you, and thanks in advance! 😊
