Cape Verde has a growing reputation for delivering scorching heat all year round, but is that really the case? Today, we will be reviewing the weather in Cape Verde for the month of May. 

A Summary of Cape Verde’s Climate

In May, Cape Verde is at the peak of its sunshine hours, meaning that if you want non-stop sun, May is the time of year to visit.

People have been coming to Cape Verde for holidays and getaways for years, and it seems that the general holiday-maker is finally understanding why! With lovely beaches, year-long sun, and minimal rain outside of the rainy season, it’s no wonder Cape Verde is becoming a lot of people’s next holiday destination!

Cape Verde’s Weather in May

In May, Cape Verde is at its peak of sunshine hours, meaning that if you want non-stop sun, May is the perfect time for a quick getaway. With an average temperature of 23° and a maximum temperature of 26°, you can enjoy the peak heat of the day and then remain comfortable as it begins to cool in the evenings.

Temperature

As we have mentioned before, the average temperature in Cape Verde for May is around 23 °C, with the average temperature peak being 26°C. Ideal for people who enjoy bathing in the sun but want to remain comfortable within the heat. 

Chance of Rain

May is a relatively dry month for Cape Verde, so any showers that do occur should be minimal and scattered. We would not expect any rainfall to ruin outdoor activities or excursions for your Cape Verde getaway.

Sea conditions in May are generally favourable. The weather is usually relaxed, with average wind speeds reaching up to 15 mph; however, as with any coastal location, conditions can change. 

While staying at The Lagoon, lifeguards will be present on the beach and are the best source of up-to-date advice regarding the current sea conditions.
