Bora Bora Weather and Best Time To Visit

Bora Bora weather reports tend to become a little monotonous after awhile. Sunny and warm with minimal temperature fluctuations between day and night and rain being rare is pretty much par for the course during the dry winter months of May through October.

During the wet summer months between November and April the report won't change much except that it gets a little warmer and there is high humidity and frequent, brief rainstorms to contend with. There are between 2400- 2800 sunshine hours per year on this tropical island.

If you want to take advantage of lower prices for accommodation, travel and food then this "off season" time during the wet months is ideal. During the high tourist season (May - October) prices will not be very favorable and there are many more people around so booking in advance is essential.

If you don't like wind then this island is the wrong place to be because you will find that most days will have some type of light wind which gets stronger towards evening but the Pacific breeze is always welcome to alleviate the worst of the heat and humidity.

There are two trade winds that affect Bora Bora weather. A southeasterly that normally blows during the dry winter months which can bring cooler temperatures and sudden downpours so be sure to pack a raincoat and a pullover. And a northeasterly during the wet season summer months but this wind is a lot less frequent.

French Polynesia, which includes Tahiti and Bora Bora, is prone to cyclones due to the interaction of the Pacific ocean with air currents in the area. They don't occur very frequently (the last one to cause damage in Tahiti was in 1982) but there is always the possibility of one disrupting your holiday so make sure to keep an eye on the Bora Bora weather reports before you go.
