Weather

Temperature becomes almost as meaningless as clothes when it stays between 25°C (77°F) and 30°C (86°F) for the whole year. Rainfall varies slightly more, with January to March providing some respite from the other heavier months. The northern Marshalls are quite dry, but some southern islands get up to 4060mm (160in) of rain a year. Most of the rain falls in short heavy showers so there's still plenty of time in the day to soak up the sun. Majuro's wet period is September to November. Thankfully, full-blown tropical storms and cyclones are rare - the last memorable one was in 1918.
