Best time to visit Praia:

Dry Season (November to July): Cape Verde experiences a long dry season, where rainfall is minimal. This period, particularly from November to July, offers stable and sunny weather, making it ideal for beach activities, water sports, and exploring the islands. The weather is warm but relatively comfortable during these months.

Wet Season (August to October): The wet season in Cape Verde brings higher humidity and some rainfall, with the peak of the rainy season occurring in August and September. Travel during this time might be affected by sporadic rain showers, though it's not as intense as in other regions. It's a quieter period with fewer tourists, and prices might be lower.
