Forecast

Port Moresby has high air pressure most of the year due to its location near the equator, where the sun's rays strike directly.

The city's geography, surrounded by mountains and near the ocean, traps and blocks winds, making air pressure more steady.

There are two main seasons: a dry season from May to October with slightly higher air pressure, and a wet season from November to April with lower air pressure.

Port Moresby has a tropical savanna climate, which means it's hot and humid year-round, with air pressure that's slightly higher than other places at the same latitude due to its mountainous surroundings.
