Tuvalu, an island nation in the Pacific Ocean, experiences a tropical climate. There are two main seasons here, the ‘wet’ season and the ‘dry’ season. Wet season runs from November to March, and during this time Tuvalu experiences heavy rain and blustery gales. The locals call this time tau-o-lao. From March to November, the temperature is cooled and moderated by easterly trade winds.
The wet season sees the highest temperatures, with the hottest months of March and April peaking at around 88°F, although this is only slightly higher than the average temperatures of the dry season at around 85°F. Yet the drier months can seem cooler since they are regulated by sea breezes. The highest amount of rainfall comes in December and January, at around 15 inches per month.
