What to expectMajuro through the year

Majuro changes little through the year. Average daily highs stay between 28 and 28 °C, so no month stands out as a season in the way it would further from the equator.

Counted across a normal year, 365 days a year reach 25 °C. The warmest reading in the 1991–2020 record is 30 °C, in September.

Rain is spread fairly evenly through the year, from 188 mm in March to 325 mm in November. There is no dry season to aim for.

The sea off Majuro is warmest in September at 29 °C and coldest in February at 28 °C. Sea temperature lags the air by a month or two, which is why late summer swims warmer than early summer at the same air temperature.
