October weather forecast
Cape Verde

October in Cape Verde continues the autumn season, further cooling from the summer's heat. During this month, temperatures typically range between 25°C (77°F) to 30°C (86°F). The Atlantic Ocean's influence on the coastal cities, such as Praia and Mindelo, persists, ensuring temperatures in these areas stay on the cooler side of this spectrum.

As for precipitation, October witnesses a decline from September's peak levels, with the average rainfall amount falling to about 40mm (1.57"). This reduction signals the end of the wetter season in Cape Verde. Nevertheless, while rainfall is less frequent, October still has a number of sunny, clear days that are ideal for outdoor activities.

Regarding wind conditions, the absence of the Harmattan winds from the Sahara desert continues in October. Consequently, skies remain clear and dust levels low, enhancing visibility throughout Cape Verde, especially in the interior regions of the islands.

Transitioning into November, the subsequent month, temperatures maintain their cooling trend, while rainfall levels continue to drop, marking a return to Cape Verde's predominantly arid climate. Therefore, the shift from October to November in Cape Verde is characterized by increasingly cooler and drier conditions.
