During the ninth month, this South Pacific nation experiences a transition period from its cooler dry season to its warmer, more humid wet season. Expect average temperatures ranging from the low 70s to the mid-80s Fahrenheit (low 20s to high 20s Celsius), with lower temperatures in the evenings and higher temperatures during the day. Sunshine is abundant, though brief rain showers are possible, particularly in the afternoons or evenings.
This time of year offers a desirable balance for visitors. The lower humidity compared to the peak summer months provides more comfortable conditions for outdoor activities. The ocean remains warm, perfect for swimming, snorkeling, and diving, while the reduced rainfall increases the likelihood of sunny days for exploring the islands’ lush landscapes. Historically, this period has been popular with travelers seeking to avoid the peak season crowds while still enjoying favorable weather.
