How hot is it in Malta in February?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The temperatures in Cape Verde varies from island to island (there are ten islands in Cape Verde) but generally the temperatures average around 25 degrees in February. Cape Verde is labelled as a 'semi-desert' area, meaning that there is a short rainy season, mainly between August and October.

The Windward Islands (Sao Antao, Sao Nicolau, Sao Vincente, Santa Luzia (uninhabited), Sal and Boa Vista) are situated to the north and east of the Archipelago and often have dry and arid climates. The Leeward islands (Brava, Fogo, Santiago and Maio) are to the south and west and have a more tropical climate.

It is worth bearing in mind that that although the temperatures are a decent 25 degrees in February, there is a strong breeze that blows across the Windward islands, particularly Sal and Boa Vista, during this time. Although many people who have been to Cape Verde have said that it didn't bring the temperature down, the winds were strong enough to be a little bit of a nuisance; particularly at night. These winds are at their strongest in February, and start dying down towards March. In the summer months, when temperatures can reach above 30 degrees, this breeze is more gentle and often makes the hot temperatures very pleasant.

What is euro money look like?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

France uses Euros, which vary according to the country of issue, though you can spend them anywhere in the Eurozone. Americans immediately notice 2 things about euro notes:

1) Different denominations are different colours, so you can tell them apart at a glance.

2) Different denominations are different sizes, so blind people can tell them apart, too.

3) Different denominations have different designs, so you don't get bored.

Neat ideas, huh?

For the actual appearance, the European Central Bank has a useful leaflet, which you can see on http://www.ecb.int/pub/pdf/other/euroleafleten.pdf

Where in Malta did it snow?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Snow is almost unheard in Malta.

It fell briefly in March 1877,February 1895,January 1905,March 1949 and February 1962 always with little or no accumulation on the ground. But these are not official accounts & according to the Malta Met Office snow has never been recorded in Malta, with noted accounts thought to actually be of soft hail otherwise known as Graupel. There is no photographic evidence of any of these past snow falls so it is more likely that hail or Graupel was misidentified as snow.
