Dakar is warm to hot year round with a short wet season between July and October, with the remaining 8 months having dry and cooler conditions. Also experiences around 3,000 hours of annual sunshine. It's maritime location on the Cap-Vert peninsula keeps Dakar much cooler than areas further inland.

I'm with Candle. Hot year round, too dry, no winter, probably awfully brown, but still the best low-elevation climate at that latitude anywhere in the world.
Wow, it is actually good for West Africa at sea level. January - April sounds like pleasant summer weather. Can't say the same about the other months though, from June to November the weather does look hellish.
Thus I go with a D+... It would be a C if high summer was a bit lighter.
