Tahiti Weather Information
French Polynesia
enjoys warm, tropical weather year-round. Cooled by the gentle
breezes of the Pacific, the climate of these islands is sunny
and pleasant. The average ocean temperature is in the low 80’s.
Because Tahiti and her Islands are below the Equator, the
seasons are the reverse of those in the Northern Hemisphere.
Roughly speaking, there are two
seasons: from November through April the climate is warmer and
more humid, with daily high temperatures of about 85 F and lows
of 70F at night. More rain falls during the warmer season, but
there are also many lovely sunny days with refreshing
trade-winds during these months. In fact, during the
period of November through March Tahiti still averages more
sunshine hours than Honolulu. From May through
October the climate is cooler and drier with daily high
temperatures of about 82F and lows of 70F at night.
Finally, high islands (such as Tahiti, Moorea or Bora Bora) feature
micro-climates related to their altitudes and exposition. Eastern coasts are
more exposed to trade winds and consequently receive more rainfalls than the
western coasts that are more sheltered.
