Wallis & Futuna

Climate & when to go

It's not surprising that, being in the middle of the tropics, Wallis and Futuna are markedly hot and humid. 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 of rainfall a year, while Futuna gets a lush 4m on average. Both islands experience occasional cyclones (the season is May to October). The most destructive recorded cyclone was Raja, which ravaged the islands in 1986.
