Tahiti and Moorea weather by month

Luckily, you'll find that daytime and evening temperatures in Tahiti, as well as throughout the all of French Polynesia, are incredibly stable every month. Down below, on the temperature chart you'll find that each day of the year is almost identical to the other days. Moorea Island is only 9 miles (17 km) away, so the climate and weather are basically identical, and there are better Moorea overwater bungalow resorts to consider, as well.

Because these averages are so unbelievably reliable, you don't need to worry about checking the forecast during the days leading up to your adventure. The highest recorded highs are only a bit above the average, and it's the same story when it come to the record lows.

Dry season and wet season

As you’ll find with everywhere else that’s located in the tropics, there are two seasons instead of the typical four you’re most likely used to. The “wet season” here in Tahiti lasts from November and into April, with the wettest month being that of March. The “dry season” here runs from May into October, with the driest month being that of August.

You’ll also notice on the chart below that there’s still some predictable rain during the “dry season” so it’s never truly dry.

Cloudbursts rather than drizzle

While the rainfall totals for the wet season months might look like they’d be somewhat of a problem during your vacation, in reality it’s not a concern at all. Just as with everywhere else in the tropics, rainfall in Tahiti tends to come in severe cloudbursts that usually last only 30 minutes or so, and usually up to an hour. This often happens in the late afternoon, and sometimes on a daily basis, but it also happens in the early morning darkness when you’re not out and about.

Even throughout the wet season, you’ll notice that it’s usually sunny the majority of the time. Then you’ll see clouds rolling in quickly, and they’ll produce a heavy downpour that lasts for just a little bit. An hour later it’s often very sunny again, though there are some periods when the gray does persist a bit longer than that.

Humidity

Humidity does tend to be on the high side throughout the entire year, with most people feeling discomfort peaking from January and into March, but honestly there’s little difference from one month to the next, and it’s still quite humid in dry season.

Winds

The “trade winds” here like to say cross through every day of the year, and have a tendency to be more prominent in the afternoon rather than during the morning. With that said, these winds tend to be very pleasant and cooling, making it so you’ll likely feel that the temperatures are perfect for an island paradise as long as you are outdoors.

Most restaurants and bars in the South Pacific are outdoors and shaded, so very few people complain about the weather at all. Any indoor restaurant at any of the Tahiti overwater bungalow resorts will be air conditioned as well.
