Sal hava durumu: Eylül

Sal's forum consistently describes January as mild and dry - averaging around 22C - but genuinely windy, with a steady 25kph breeze that can gust higher and kicks up rougher seas, which is exactly why it's popular with windsurfers this time of year. Days are pleasant, but several posters warned the wind makes evenings feel cooler than the thermometer suggests, so pack a light layer for after dark. There's also an occasional Saharan dust haze that rolls through for a day or two, though it doesn't typically disrupt flights or plans.

Forum posters call July technically the start of the rainy season on Sal, but say you'd be unlucky to see more than a quick, short shower - high-20sC temperatures with plenty of sun are the norm, and the season's average total rainfall across July-September is a modest 25mm. Humidity runs fairly high (80%+) even on sunny days. It's not the windiest stretch of the year, though a steady northeasterly breeze is nearly constant; most hotels sit on the sheltered south and west coasts, which take the edge off it. Overall, posters describe July as a reliably pleasant, warm and mostly dry month despite the 'rainy season' label.
