Weather

Temperatures on all FSM islands average 26-27°C (80-81°F) year round. The wettest months are in late spring and summer; rainfall is heaviest on Pohnpei, where the interior gets as much as 10,000mm annually, making it one of the rainiest places on earth. Yap is the driest island. On the more northern islands you could almost be guaranteed that the temperature will be between 20°C (68°F) and 30°C (86°F) at any time of the day, any day of the year. Closer to the equator things are a bit warmer and days usually creep into the low thirties (high eighties). Humidity is usually high but the even temperature and fresh sea breezes mean conditions are never too stuffy. Heavy rainfall occurs between June and December but closer to the equator rainfall is distributed more evenly throughout the year, bulging a bit around December-January.
