While Gusau doesn't typically attract international tourists, for those visiting for business or family reasons, the best time to go would generally be during the dry season, which runs from October to April.
During these months, the weather is more predictable, with less humidity and virtually no rainfall, making travel and outdoor activities more comfortable. Temperatures can still be high, often ranging from 30°C to 35°C, but the lack of rain simplifies logistics. This period is particularly good for business travellers who need to move around the city or surrounding areas without interruption from heavy downpours.
The rainy season, from May to September, brings heavy rainfall, which can sometimes lead to localised flooding and make unpaved roads difficult to navigate.
