French Polynesia Travel - Accommodation, Sightseeing Tours, Information
The
islands of French Polynesia are a selection of volcanic islands and atolls
strewn across the eastern South Pacific. These islands have allured,
inspired and enamoured visitors since the time the islands were first
discovered. Visiting these islands is a special experience. The lure of
these islands is not only due to the hospitable Polynesian people, and their
spectacularly beautiful islands. There is real ambiance here - from the
warmth of the air, scented heavily with tropical flowers through to fiery
romantic sunsets that signal the end of another fabulous Tahitian day.
Although most of today's visitors arrive by scheduled airline flights - from
all over the world - the Tahitian welcome is still very much the same, warm,
friendly, and genuine.

Climate French Polynesia
Since French Polynesia is located in the tropical zone of the southern
hemisphere, the weather can only be described as "tropical". Also, being
south of the equator, their seasons are opposite of those in the United
States.
The winter season is May through October. During this period, the early
morning low temperatures go no lower than the high 60's. The daytime highs
are generally in the mid-80's. There is less rain during this time of year
and a little less humidity than in the summer. However, being tropical, the
humidity is usually 75 to 80%.
The summer season is November through April. At night, the low
temperatures are usually in the mid-70's and daytime highs range anywhere
from 85 to the low 90's. This is when they get their heaviest rainfall,
which can reach as much as 15" in one month.
Severe tropical storms are not very common in the area of French
Polynesia. The last hurricane that caused any significant damage was in
December 1989. The most severe weather heads for these islands during years
when the El Niño is occurring.
The weather described above basically pertains to the Society Islands.
The Marquesas Islands are much closer to the Equator, so their weather tends
to be warmer with more rainfall. At the other extreme, the Gambier Islands
are about as far south of the Equator as the northern part of Mexico is
north of the Equator.
