CLIMATE
Tonga has two distinct seasons.
The hot, wet season dominates from December to April with temperatures rising up to 33oC, but modified somewhat by light tradewinds, particularly in the evening. The country's 1600 mm of annual rain usually falls during this humid season, which is also cyclone season. However, major cyclones usually only occur every 10-15 years.
The cool, dry season reigns from May to November with temperatures ranging between 17oC and 22oC. The cooling tradewinds blow during this season, making for very pleasant days and refreshingly cool nights.
