Forecast

Kavieng has a tropical climate with high temperatures and humidity year-round. This warmth makes the air rise, which lowers air pressure.

The island's geography, with surrounding oceans and mountains, traps warm air and prevents cold air from entering, keeping pressure low.

During the wet season, from December to March, air pressure drops further due to increased moisture. This brings heavy rainfall and strong winds.

In the dry season, from May to October, air pressure rises slightly, making the weather drier and sunnier.

Kavieng's tropical climate means it has low air pressure overall, making it prone to cyclones and stormy weather.
