Climate

The climate of the Archipelago of Cape Verdeis tropical and dry, with the standard temperatures remaining around 25o, and changes that do not exceed 10o due to influence from the ocean. The sun spreads its warmth the whole year round, but there are two main seasons, the rainy season from August to October, and the dry or windy season from December to June. July and November are the months of transition. Rainfall is irregular all over the country with variations from one island to another. The lack of rainfall and the dry and warm winds are the main causes for the poor natural vegetation that characterises the country.

Nevertheless, due to the Northeast winds that blow up to the month of July, Cape Verde benefits from better and milder climate conditions than its neighbour countries located on the same latitude.
