Due to the location in the Atlantic Ocean and some of the islands being flat it can be windier than the mainland. The wind brings benefits, such as lower humidity and the islands are particularly popular for kite and windsurfing.  However please note that with higher winds, brings higher waves, which can lead to more dangerous swimming conditions.  Please observe the flag systems in operation.

The climate chart below shows a comparison in hours of sunshine and temperature over the period of 12 months between Cape Verde and London.

Figures for rainfall can be quite misleading as they are wildly different on each island. Sal, Boa Vista and São Vicente receive little rainfall each year while on some of the higher peaks on Santo Antão and Fogo there is up to 2 metres of rainfall a year, making them lush and green.  Any rainfall typically occurs between the months of August and October.

Tempartures also vary from island to island and within each island, - in the desolate centres of the flat islands, temperatures can reach 40 degrees whereas the coastal areas generally remain in the high twenties.
