about Senegal

Senegal

The Republic of Senegal is a country in western Africa south of Senegal River. Senegal is bounded by the Atlantic Ocean to the west, Mauritania to the north, Mali to the east, and Guinea and Guinea-Bissau to the south. The Gambia forms a virtual enclave within Senegal, penetrating more than 300 km inland. The Cape Verde islands lie some 560 km off the Senegalese coast.

Senegal geography

The Senegalese landscape consists mainly of the rolling sandy plains of the western Sahel which rise to foothills in the southeast. Here is also found Senegal's highest point, an otherwise unnamed feature near Nepen Diakha at 581 m. The northern border is formed by the Senegal River, other rivers include the Gambia and Casamance Rivers. The capital Dakar lies on the Cap-Vert peninsula, the westernmost point of continental Africa.

The local climate is tropical with well-defined dry and humid seasons that result from northeast winter winds and southwest summer winds. Dakar's annual rainfall of about 61 cm occurs between June and October when maximum temperatures average 27°C; December to February minimum temperatures are about 17°C. Interior temperatures are higher than along the coast, and rainfall increases substantially farther south, exceeding 150 cm annually in some areas.
