August in Bijagos — the hardest end of the year

Days in August average 26°C (79°F) and humidity near 86% — front-load outdoor plans before the heat builds and treat the middle of the day as indoor time.

This is the year's wettest stretch at 479 mm, but with about 21 days with 6+ hours of sunshine it is not a total loss; an indoor fallback covers the risk.

That is 3.4/10 on the same scale — 11th of 12 months, versus 8.1/10 for the best month here.

Pack the lightest breathable clothing you own, a hat, and more water than feels necessary, a proper rain shell rather than an umbrella.

Expect low-season pricing, and crowds are light for this destination.

If your dates are flexible, January is materially better in Bijagos — 4.7 points higher on the same scale.
