Boa Vista enjoys a warm tropical climate year-round, with daytime highs around 27–29°C and very little rainfall outside the August–October wet season. The live forecast above shows current conditions, but the best time for a reliable beach holiday is November to June, when the trade winds keep things comfortable.
When is the best time to visit Boa Vista?
The dry season from November to June offers the most settled weather, with long sunny days and minimal rain. July to October sees higher humidity and occasional tropical showers, though temperatures remain warm. For a quieter trip, avoid the December–January school holidays and Easter break, when package prices rise.
What should I pack for Boa Vista?
Lightweight clothing, swimwear, a sun hat and high-factor sunscreen are essential year-round. A light jacket or fleece is useful for breezy evenings, especially between December and March. The island can be windy – a windbreaker helps on beach walks. Don’t forget insect repellent for the wetter months.
Is Boa Vista very windy?
Yes, especially from December to April when the north-east trade winds blow steadily. This makes the island popular for windsurfing and kitesurfing, but it can feel cooler on exposed beaches. Sheltered coves and resort pools are a good alternative.
Does it rain much in summer?
Rainfall is low by UK standards – even in the wettest month (September) you might see only a few showers. The 21 day weather forecast for Boa Vista Cape Verde will show occasional cloudy days, but prolonged downpours are rare. Most rain falls in short bursts.
