General aspects of the climate in the Cabo verde archipelago

Abstract: ResumoO clima das ilhas do arquipélago de Cabo Verde sempre impôs muitas restrições ao desenvolvimento da atividade agrícola, devido a um regime pluviométrico com baixos volumes e concentrado numa única estação, chamada estação das águas (agosto -outubro). O presente estudo utiliza as metodologias apresentadas por Thornthwaite e o sistema de classificação de Köppen para avaliar e caracterizar o clima no arquipélago de Cabo Verde. Foram utilizadas séries temporais mensais de precipitação e de temperatura do ar … Show more

“…The climatic characterization of Cabo Verde Islands is presented in Table 1, and data was compiled from several sources [29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41]. Due to its geographical location within the vast Sahel area, strongly influenced by the northeast trade winds, the climate surrounding Cape Verde is arid and semi-arid, with a long dry season (8-10 months between November and July) and a short, sparse and irregular hot and humid rainy season from August to September (60%-80% precipitation) [42][43][44].…”

“…The characterization of the agriculture profile of Cabo Verde Islands was based on four complementary sources: (1) in-country available agricultural data from the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment [45,46] and the National Institute of Statistics (INE) [39]; (2) grey literature [12,[28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47]; (3) an expert-wise approach based on the authors' (A.F., V.F., A.M.C. and M.M.R.)…”

“…The total arable area is 36,456 ha, of which 31,692 ha are dedicated to rainfed and 3913 ha dedicated to irrigation [18]. Although there are good climatic conditions, namely mild temperatures (20-27 • C) [19] and sunshine all year round, the archipelago is struggling with scarce water resources. This is exacerbated by random rainfall regimes, cyclical droughts and scarcity of water.…”
