What is Cape Verde-type hurricane?
A '''Cape Verde-type hurricane''' is an [[Atlantic hurricane]] that develops near the [[Cape Verde]] [[island]]s, off the west coast of [[Africa]]. The average hurricane season has about two Cape Verde-type [[hurricane]]s, which are usually the strongest storms of the season because they often have plenty of warm open ocean over which to develop before coming across land. {{hurricane-stub}} [[Category:Tropical cyclones]]
