Don't overlook the Gambia - it's small but full of delights.
The Gambian climate is characterised by a long dry season (November to May) and a short rainy season (June to October), with August by far the rainiest month. Average high temperatures range from 24°C (75°F) between December and February, to 32°C (89°F) between November and March - this is the least rainy (and the most sunny) time of the year. Temperatures are mildest along the coast, and the amount and duration of rainfall lessens as you head inland. Humidity is only a problem just before the rains begin in June.
