There are two distinct seasons in Micronesia: the dry season (November - April) and rainy season (May – October). Micronesia’s regions experience year-round high temperatures and tourism to the island is rather low. This allows you to choose whenever it suits you best to visit Micronesia. There are regional variations to consider when deciding on when to book your flight to the island destination. Tourists can expect to experience typhoons and hurricanes from May to December.
