When is the best time to go to Wallis and Futuna

Context: Wallis and Futuna is located about two-thirds of the way from Hawaii to New Zealand. It is 13°18′S 176°12′W Coordinates: 13°18′S 176°12′W, 360 km west of Samoa and 480 km northeast of Fiji.

The territory includes the island of Uvéa, which is the most populous; the island of Futuna; the virtually uninhabited island of Alofi; and 20 uninhabited islets. The total area of the territory is 274 square kilometres, with 129 kilometres of coastline. The highest point in the territory is Mont Puke, on the island of Futuna, at 524 metres.

The islands have a hot, rainy season from November to April, when tropical cyclones passing over them cause storms. Then they have a cool, dry season from May to October, caused by the southeast trade winds that predominate during those months. The average annual rainfall is between 2,500 and 3,000 millimetres, and rain is likely on at least 260 days per year. The average humidity is 80%. The average annual temperature is 26.6 °C, rarely falling below 24.0 °C; during the rainy season, it ranges between 28.0 °C and 32.0 °C.

Only 5% of the islands' land area consists of arable land; permanent crops cover another 20%. Deforestation is a serious problem: Only small portions of the original forests remain, largely because the inhabitants use wood as their main fuel source, and, as a result, the mountainous terrain of Futuna is particularly susceptible to erosion. The island of Alofi lacks natural freshwater resources, so it has no permanent settlements.

Volcanic activity during the mid-Pleistocene created numerous volcanic crater lakes on Uvea. The names of some of them are: Lalolalo, Lano, Lanutavake, Lanutuli, Lanumaha, Kikila, and Alofivai.

Wallis and Futuna is part of the Fiji tropical moist forests terrestrial ecoregion.

Answer: It is best to go from May to October in the dry season. The temperature are lower but at least it is not raining so often.
