The National Agency for Civil Aviation and Meteorology (ANACIM) of Senegal issued its weather bulletin No. 121 on May 1, 2025. According to very short -term forecasts, valid from May 1 to 12:00 to 12:00, the sky will remain temporarily cloudy throughout the country in the coming 24 hours. However, rain-storing activities from Mali and Guinea will affect the southeast regions, notably Kédougou and Tambacounda, with possibilities of extension to Matam, Kolda and Ziguinchor.

The heat will remain marked inside the country, particularly in the east and center areas, where the maximum daily temperatures will oscillate between 39 and 42 ° C. On the other hand, a relatively mild time will be observed along the coast, especially in Dakar, Saint-Louis and Cap Skirring. Visibities will generally be good throughout the country, although a slight feeling of dust persists in the north, the east and the center.
