Pleasant weather

Samoa is located near the equator, roughly halfway between New Zealand and Hawaii, so you can expect a pleasant average temperature of around 28 degrees all year. The water temperature (suitable for swimming) is in the low 20s. Samoa has two different seasons: the dry season, which lasts from May to October, and the wet season, which lasts from November to April.

The dry season is the greatest time to visit Samoa, but if you don't mind a little rain, the wet season means the sceneries are lusher. Samoa's climate is hot and humid, so pack lightweight summer clothes for your trip regardless of the time of year. You should also bring a light sweater because there is frequently a gentle breeze in the late afternoon and early evening. Although Samoa is a fairly traditional nation and welcomes all visitors, bear in mind that scant clothes are likely to offend. When you're not at the beach, dress respectfully despite the heat and humidity.
