What this means for Vanuatu
Today is slightly cooler than average for August. The forecast high of 73°F is 4.3°F below the 77°F typical for this month.
A 100% chance means rain is expected over most of the area. Plan indoor alternatives. Around 0,5 in is forecast, which is enough to soak trails and slow traffic.
Visibility is down to 1,9 mi - use low beams and leave extra following distance. Gusts to 41 mph will push high-sided vehicles on exposed roads and bridges. Wet roads are likely; braking distances roughly double in heavy rain.
Southern Hemisphere, so peak summer falls in December to February.
The gap between the warmest and coldest month averages 39°F - an unusually even climate through the year.
What to pack, what to skip
- Sunglasses, a brimmed hat and SPF 30+
- A packable rain shell - 7 of the next 7 days carry a real chance of rain
- Insect repellent and quick-dry fabrics for humidity
- Avoid exposed ridgelines, small boats and rooftop viewpoints while gusts stay above 41 mph.
- If your dates are flexible, avoid January, February and March - historically the least comfortable months here.
