When Is the Best Time To Visit Micronesia?
The answer to the question of what is the best month to visit Micronesia depends on what you are interested in doing during your stay. Here you can see an overview of each month and its typical weather conditions.
Tourist Season in Micronesia
The Micronesian islands can be visited all year round due to their high water and air temperatures. For those who want to skip the rainiest months, a visit during the dry season from December to April is recommended. During this time, rainfall is less frequent and less intense, and sunny and warm days encourage walking, beachcombing, diving and water sports.
The rainy season (May to November) is hot and humid, but we can also count on sunny days. When traveling during this time, it is necessary to take into account increased rainfall and winds, which can somewhat complicate your vacation.
