This is always the big question: what is the weather going to be
like when I take my vacation in the month of ....?
Well, there is no answer to that... this is a tropical region with a similar weather pattern throughout the year, meaning it has a lot of sunshine as well as intermittent
rainstorms without any predictable frequency, pattern
or particular location or season.
However, there is NO monsoon, there are NO cyclones, and there
is a LOT of sunshine.
So, weather considerations should not be a factor in choosing
your travel dates.
Rain comes in the form of warm tropical storms that usually arrive quickly,
and disappear just as fast. It can rain buckets suddenly in 1 spot for
15 minutes followed by a bright sunshine, while 1/4 mile down the road,
it's been totally dry!
As for the the temperature, there is no noticeable variation
throughout the year. Its warm (average about 85˚F), but very pleasantly so, with a water temperature of about 82˚. It goes down to 78/80 in the evening and at no time does one ever need a jacket or light sweater.
So,
do not plan your vacation or honeymoon around any weather expectations. the weather is irrelevant
because it cannot be predicted (even 5 days in advance, contrary to what the Weather Channel will have you believe...)
The Climate:
The Society
Islands ( Tahiti, Moorea, Bora Bora, Huahine, Raiatea ) and the Tuamotu
atolls (Rangiroa, Fakarava, Manihi) have a mild tropical climate, mostly
sunny and pleasant.
The average annual temperature in the Society Islands is 85 F with little
variation through the year.
As a result of vegetation and wind factors, high islands ( Tahiti, Moorea,
Bora Bora, Huahine, Raiatea ) are generally a little more humid than
atolls (Rangiroa, Fakarava, Manihi), which are more exposed to the cooling
influence of the trade winds
