Climate of Micronesia

Micronesia is located in an eminently humid equatorial climate zone. It is characterized by high humidity and air temperatures reaching 26°C - 28°C and abundant rainfall reaching 4,500 mm per year. Water temperature is also high and stays between 27°C - 29°C throughout the year.

The islands can be distinguished by two seasons - rainy and dry.

The rainy season lasts from May to November, with the highest rainfall recorded from July to October. Rainfall comes in the form of short and intense downpours, often accompanied by strong winds. Despite the hot and very humid days, there is still plenty of sunshine.

The dry season covers the time from December to April, brings less humid air and mostly bright and sunny days. Rainfall may occur, but it is fleeting and does not greatly impede recreation.

In some regions, rains are a daily occurrence throughout the year, such as: in Pohnpei and Kosrae, which are among the wettest areas of the country.
