Travel Guide > Africa > Nigeria > Lagos
Lagos might not be the capital of Nigeria (centrally located Abuja is) but it is by far the biggest city in the country and most of the economical and financial life takes place here, as does criminial life and safety is a major concern here. As a matter of fact, it probaby is the biggest city in Africa and of the fastest growing anywhere in the world. Probably close to 15 million people live in the concrete urban jungle that Lagos is.
Lagos is hot and humid yearround, with temperatures around 30 degrees Celsius on most days. February to May is a bit hotter, when even nights are very warm at 26 degrees Celsius on average. Although the rainy season lasts from May to October, there generally is a peak in May/June and another in October, while in between it is relatively dry.
