Cape Verde's climate is milder than that of the African mainland; because the island is surrounded by the sea, temperatures are generally moderate.[14] Average daily high temperatures range from 25 °C (77 °F) in January to 29 °C (84.2 °F) in September.[13] Cape Verde is part of the Sahelian arid belt, with nothing like the rainfall levels of nearby West Africa.[14] It does rain irregularly between August and October, with frequent brief-but-heavy downpours.[14] A desert is usually defined as terrain which receives less than 250 mm (9.8 in) of annual rainfall. Cape Verde's total (261 mm/10.3 in) is slightly above this criterion, which makes the area climate semi-desert.
