It is located in the north of the country and was the largest of the sixteen regions, covering an area of 70,384 square kilometres or 31 percent of Ghana's area until December 2018 when the Savannah and North East Regions were created from it. The Northern Region is divided into 14 districts. The region's capital is Tamale.[2] Geography and climateLocation and sizeThe Northern Region is bordered on the north by the North East region, on the east by the eastern Ghana-Togo international border, on the south by the Oti region, and on the west by the Savannah region. Northern region is made up of 14 districts. Climate and vegetationThe Northern Region is much drier than southern areas of Ghana, due to its proximity to the Sahel, and the Sahara. The vegetation consists predominantly of grassland, especially savanna with clusters of drought-resistant trees such as baobabs or acacias. Between January and March is the dry season. The wet season is between about July and December with an average annual rainfall of 750 to 1050 mm (30 to 40 inches). The highest temperatures are reached at the end of the dry season, the lowest in December and January. However, the hot Harmattan wind from the Sahara blows frequently between December and the beginning of February. The temperatures can vary between 14 °C (59 °F) at night and 40 °C (104 °F) during the day.{{clear left}} Economy{{double image|left|Agriculture Factory, Tamale, Dagbon.jpg|223|Agriculture Factory, Tamale.jpg|225|Agribusiness Factory in Tamale, Northern region.
