The climate of Praia (Cape Verde)
Praia is the capital of Cape Verde. Praia has a population of more than 60,000 and is located on the island of Santiago. The place where Praia is situated already was an important stopover for navigation routes toward Brazil and Asia during the 16th century. The city itself was founded in 1615 and was named Praia de Santa Maria. The city center is situated on a narrow plateau, because of this the center is also known as Plateau. Praia has a tropical savannah climate with only 261 millimeters of annual rain. Hardly any rain falls during the first half of the year. Most precipitation falls in August and September. Temperatures are almost always pleasantly warm during the day, between 24-29 degrees Celsius. Extremely high temperatures are uncommon which makes Praia a pleasant place to stay in. Praia is also quite sunny with 2920 hours of annual sunshine on average.

More climate information
Climate figures are very useful but don’t present a general impression of the climate and the eventual weather circumstances within a certain period. The figures don’t always reflect the chance of wintry weather, extreme heat or hurricanes. That is why we offer useful extra climate information for each month of the year:
