Boa Vista for warmer days, Sal for milder afternoons
Boa Vista is the better fit if daytime warmth is your priority, with an average high of 27°C compared with Sal's 23°C. That makes Boa Vista more appealing for a holiday built around relaxing in the heat, though you may prefer shade at midday. Sal suits travellers who enjoy milder afternoons and do not need hot weather to feel on holiday. The difference largely disappears after dark: both average 22°C at night. Neither has an advantage for sea temperature or rainy days, with the sea at 23°C and an average of 0 rainy days in each. Choose mainly by your daytime heat preference.
What to pack and how to plan your days
Light clothing should cover most June days, and nights averaging 22°C mean the warmth continues into the evening. A light layer is a sensible option if you tend to feel cool when sitting outside, rather than packing for cold nights. With 8.4 hours of sunshine on average, sun protection and access to shade deserve more attention than wet-weather plans. The average of 0 rainy days makes June a strong choice for spending time outdoors, but it is not a promise that rain cannot occur. At 23°C, the sea should suit many swimmers, although anyone who prefers very warm water may find it cool on entry.
