Sal
Closest long-haul winter sun. Barren, windy, 25°C November–June.
Mostly sunny with the odd cloud. Real holiday weather.
Days 1–5 are usually reliable, 6–10 drift, 11–14 are the model guessing. Check again the day before you fly — more on what this can and can't do.
When to go
From the 2026 climate study, not the live forecast.Year-round sun option few Europeans price properly — air 23–30°C every month. Caveats: the harmattan (Saharan dust haze, December to early March, worst on Sal and Boa Vista) and the fact that Cape Verde is the origin region for major Atlantic hurricanes (the islands rarely hit but Hurricane Fred in 2015 was the first direct hit in 124 years). August–September is the humid mini-rainy window.
