Two rainy seasons shape Kumasi’s tropical savanna climate, from lighter showers to heavier downpours. Ghana’s second-largest city, with 443,981 residents recorded in the 2021 census, serves as the capital of the Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly and the Ashanti Region. It occupies a rain forest region near Lake Bosomtwe, around 200 kilometres from Accra, and is home to Asante, Dagomba, Mole-Dagbon and Ewe communities.
