The winter air is clearer, and on a bright day Africa is visible. For anyone moving, January is useful for other reasons: 2,930 hours of sun a year, 43 rainy days, a winter score of 4 out of 5.

The winter column is a 1-to-5 score: how many cafés, hotels and shops run in January compared with the best month of the year. Where a village has no government figure of its own, it is our estimate. Tourists never notice; anyone who moved does.
Rain days and humidity are annual here, not monthly: 43 rainy days a year, 70% humidity in winter. We have no monthly normals yet and will not invent a split.
