The city has a savannah climate, with hot and humid rain in the rainy season (June-October) and warm and dry in the dry season. Agriculture is the mainstay of the economy, with an abundance of peanuts, rice, and palm fruits, and the surrounding villages have long inherited the crafts of hand weaving and wood carving.
