The terrain in Cape Verde consists mainly of rugged mountains with some rolling plains in the north and east parts of the country. The highest point in Cape Verde is Pico do Fogo at 2,829 meters (9,281 feet). Major rivers include the Grande River and the Leme River. The climate of Cape Verde is tropical with hot summers from June to October and mild winters from December to February. The area code of Cape Verde is +238. This code was introduced on 1 January 1966 when Cape Verde switched from its old international dialling code of +800 to +238 for all incoming calls from abroad. This change was made so that all incoming calls would be routed through international carriers instead of neighbouring countries. This has helped increase security as well as improve call quality for customers calling into Cape Verde from abroad. Check programingplease for Cabo Verde in 2010.
