Togo
Land and Resources
In the south of Togo is a narrow, low-lying coastal belt containing a series of inland lagoons. To the north lies a plateau region that increases in elevation from about 60 m (about 200 ft) in the south to about 425 m (about 1400 ft) to the northeast. A central chain of hills, the Chaîne du Togo, extends across the country from southwest to northeast. They have an average elevation of about 700 m (about 2300 ft) and reach a maximum of 986 m (3235 ft) in Pic Baumann (Mont Agou) in the southwest. To the north of the hills lies a plateau drained by the Oti River; the terrain increases in elevation and becomes more rugged to the northeast. Much of the southern part of the country is drained by the Mono River and its tributaries.
Climate
The climate of Togo is tropical. Average annual temperatures range from 27° C (81° F) at the coast to 30° C (86° F) in the north. The south has two rainy seasons, from March to July and from October to November; the average annual rainfall on the coast is about 875 mm (about 35 in). It doubles in the mountains a few kilometers inland. The north has one rainy season (April to July) and receives nearly all of its annual precipitation (1145 mm/45 in) during this period.
