FORECAST CAMEROON

Yaoundé

Debundscha, on the southwest flank of Mount Cameroon, takes somewhere around 10,000 mm a year and is one of the two or three wettest inhabited places on Earth — the monsoon southwesterly hits a 4,040 m active volcano standing directly on the coast and has nowhere to go but up. Two hundred kilometres north the same country is Sahelian at Maroua with under 800 mm, and in between are equatorial forest at Yaoundé and the cool volcanic highlands at Bamenda. The Cameroon Line of volcanoes carries its own hazard: Lake Nyos released a CO₂ cloud in 1986 that killed 1,700 people, a limnic eruption whose trigger is still argued over.

This site is not a warning service. The official forecast and every watch and warning for Cameroon comes from Direction de la Météorologie Nationale — via ASECNA.

What is on this page is the raw observation — the METAR itself, from the aerodrome named above it — with nothing added and nothing forecast.
