Funafuti experiences a tropical climate with consistently warm temperatures year-round, hovering between 26°C and 32°C with little variation between seasons.

Rainfall is substantial throughout the year, averaging over 3,500mm annually, with the wettest months bringing frequent downpours that can drench you in seconds.

Temperatures remain stubbornly uniform, meaning you'll never need a jumper but will perpetually require sun protection and ventilation.

Humidity stays relentlessly high at 80-85%, creating that sticky feeling where your clothes never quite dry and salt air clings to everything.

The coral atoll's lack of elevation means no escape from the heat, and reflective white sand intensifies UV exposure considerably.
