Port Vila enjoys a tropical climate with warm temperatures year-round, where the question is not whether you'll need a jacket but whether you'll need an umbrella.
The wet season brings frequent downpours and occasional cyclones, making waterproof gear as essential as your passport.
Temperatures hover between 22°C and 30°C throughout the year, with little variation beyond a few degrees between seasons.
Humidity remains high regardless of the month, turning any synthetic fabrics into portable saunas within minutes.
The coastal breeze provides some relief, so loose-fitting natural fabrics that catch the wind are your best defense against the persistent dampness.
Port Vila has two seasons rather than four: a drier stretch and a wetter one, both warm enough that you'll never need a sweater.
