Higher = better, including rain & wind (green = "doesn't hurt the score", not "lots of it").

Greyed factors are scored normally — extreme heat overrides them, so a clear sky or low rain can't lift the period.

Is Liberia too hot in summer?

12 months (January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, December) trip the heat deal-breaker in our scoring: apparent temperature crosses the comfort cap, so even with clear skies and low rain the score is held down. Plan around it if heat tolerance is low.

When are crowds lowest in Liberia?

Search-interest seasonality (Google Trends 2021-2025) is lowest in May and peaks in November. Interest tracks both in-trip visitors and lead-time planners, so treat it as a "destination is on people's minds" signal rather than literal arrivals.

How high can UV get in Liberia on the sunniest days?

Months where the sunniest days routinely exceed the typical reading: February, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, December. Plan sun protection for the worst case, not the average.
