The northern Sahara region of Mali receives virtually no rain and so can be visited at any time, although in summer months it becomes very hot. Further south in the Sahel region, there are rains from June until September. Before this it is hot and humid and the early part of the year is prone to hot, dusty winds. This really leaves October until February as the best time for a visit, although in January and February the wind is sometimes unpleasant.
