Meteo Praia (Cape Verde) in febbraio

Forum posters describe October in Cape Verde as drier than September, with typical daytime temperatures in the high-20sC (sometimes reaching the 30s), sea temperatures around 26C, and one visitor reporting no rain at all during their stay beyond the occasional small passing cloud. Posters consistently describe evenings as warm enough for just a t-shirt, with a generally pleasant breeze taking the edge off the intense daytime sun even though wind can pick up and whip sand around on some beach days. Posters generally rate October as excellent, sunny weather for a Cape Verde visit, several specifically saying they couldn't have wished for better conditions.

Forum posters describe April across Cape Verde as generally lovely and sunny, hot during the day with a near-constant breeze that continues into the evening, cool enough on some nights that a light cardigan or something to slip over the shoulders is worth having. Wind is a defining feature of the islands generally this time of year - posters say it's never unbearable and doesn't stop most activities, but it can be deceptively refreshing enough that sunburn sneaks up on visitors who don't feel how hot the sun actually is. One practical safety note posters raise repeatedly: sea swimming can be genuinely dangerous given the year-round windiness and resulting currents, so checking local conditions and flag warnings before swimming is standard advice regardless of how calm the beach looks.
