Best time to travel to Samoa

What ideal time to visit is one of the most essential things about Samoa you should know while planning to travel to this country. Between April and October, when the weather is drier and the humidity is lower, is the best time to visit Samoa.

The climate of Samoa is influenced by its location in the South Pacific, close to the Equator. Throughout the year, average daily temperatures range around 28-30°C, and the seawater is delightfully pleasant. Because both of Samoa's main islands are hilly, the interiors are frequently blanketed in low clouds. It has a distinct wet season between November and March, similar to many other South Pacific island states. Rainfall is more on the southern flanks of the islands in general.

January - February: Because Samoa is in the midst of its rainy season, it is advisable to avoid traveling during these months.

March-May: March marks the end of Samoa's wet season and can be a fickle month in terms of weather. Expect some rain, but also the beginning of drier days. April and May are even drier, and going during these months can save you money because there are fewer foreign visitors and a calmer, more pleasant ambiance. For chilly evenings, simply dress in layers.

June - September: If you want to be nearly guaranteed nice weather with the least danger of rain, this is the best season to visit Samoa. It is the perfect season for snorkeling, swimming, and resting on the beach. Be advised that this is also the islands' busiest season, as people from New Zealand and Australia flock to the islands to escape the Southern Hemisphere winter.

October - November: As the wet season returns, Samoa may become a little rainier over these months. However, as in April and May, it is still possible to visit and enjoy dry weather, and as November draws to a close, crowds tend to thin out.

December: The rainy season has returned to Samoa, making travel to the islands difficult for those wishing for brilliant tropical sunshine.
