Five Essential Items You Need To Survive The Harmattan Season

The harmattan season is here, and it is important that one is ready for the season. Harmattan is characterised by very cold temperatures, especially in the mornings and nights, and very hot weather in the afternoons.

 

The humidity also drops really low and the air is dusty. This means the skin has a tendency to dry up quickly, and the wind can be very assaulting to the respiratory system. Below are essential materials you need to survive this harmattan.
