Weather

If you're after consistency in your weather, these islands deliver. The archipelago enjoys a classic hot and tropical desert-island climate and the temperature has not dropped below 17ºC (60ºF) or risen over 33ºC (90ºF) in 30 years. The sweatiest months are between November and March, while more temperate weather can be expected from April to October. Rain is likely at least 260 days of the year; Wallis averages an impressive 3m (10ft) of rainfall a year, while Futuna gets a lush 4m (13ft) on average. The islands are close to the meeting point of the Pacific and Indo-Australian continental plates and experience the odd bit of seismic activity. The last severe earthquake was in 1993.
