Weather patterns
Vanuatu lies south of the Equator, so the seasons are reversed
from those in the northern hemisphere. Like fishing patterns, weather
will vary from year to year, and the following information should be
viewed as a guideline only. Fortunately, as there are so many islands
in the Vanuatu chain, a lee shore or suitably sheltered waters
can usually be found during high winds or storm activity.
South-east trade winds -- June to September
Generally, south-east trade winds keep Vanuatu's climate
close to ideal. Though some rain can be expected throughout
the year, most falls over the months of January to April. Daytime
temperatures average in the 70s to 80 degrees Fahrenheit
(21-32 degrees Centigrade). Nights: 60s to70s Fahrenheit (15-27 Centigrade)
Cyclone Season -- January to March
Historically, the northern islands of the Vanuatu
chain are most affected by cyclone activity. In general,
calm seas and hot, humid days are
experienced at this time of year.
