When to go French Polynesia ?
The weather is beautiful all year round in French Polynesia! Nevertheless, the year is divided into two seasons: the austral winter from May to October, and the austral summer from November to April. Enjoying dry air and temperatures varying between 24°C and 29°C, the former is the most pleasant, and the months of July-August are generally the most pleasant. The good news is that this corresponds perfectly with the summer holiday period in the metropolis, and the Heiva festivities at Fenua!
The climate of French Polynesia is tropical oceanic. There are two seasons: the dry season from April to October (during the austral winter) and the rainy season from November to March (it is then hotter and more humid because it rains a lot). The average temperature (air and water!) varies between 24 and 28°C. However, the climate varies according to the archipelagos: it is cooler in the Austral Islands and warmer in the Marquesas Islands.
