Go any time except the wet season, which is November to February. The weather will be hot outside of that period, but not as humid nor subject to as many tropical downpours.

Weather

These equatorial islands enjoy that typical tropical temperature range of 23°C to 33°C (73°F to 91°F) at all times of the day, every day of the year. Humidity is usually high but the even temperature and fresh sea breezes mean conditions are rarely too stuffy. Heavy rainfall on the southern islands occurs between November and April while right on the equator rain is evenly distributed throughout the year. North of the equator, rainfall is heaviest between June and November.
