Résumé du climat du Cap-Vert

October is one of the warmest months of the year, maintaining high daytime temperatures that typically average at 29°C. Crucially, the short rainy season is now receding and drops significantly to around 7mm to 16mm over the month, making it a much sunnier and drier proposition than September. Any precipitation that does occur is usually contained within brief, short-lived tropical cloudbursts.

While the days are consistently hot, evenings bring very little cooling relief. Night-time temperatures mellow only slightly to a balmy 23°C to 24°C, ensuring a warm, humid atmosphere for all outdoor evening activities.
