When to go à Bora Bora ?

The weather in Bora Bora depends on the climate of French Polynesia, which is tropical oceanic. There are two seasons: the dry season from May to October (during the austral winter) and the rainy season from November to April (it is then hotter and more humid because it rains a lot). The average temperature in Bora Bora (air and water!) varies between 24 and 28°C.

When to go to Bora Bora ? It is important to know that in French Polynesia, the weather is good all year round. The high tourist season corresponds to the southern winter (dry season) and extends from May to October, with a high number of visitors also during the end of year celebrations. During the dry season, the most pleasant and best time to go to Bora Bora, there is little rain; the air is dry and temperatures range from 24°C to 29°C. If you stay in a high place, on the side of a mountain, the nights can be cool (20°C). The low season corresponds to the rainy season, from November to April, and the months of December and January (often very rainy) are traditionally very low. It is then hotter and more humid; but it is not equatorial so it is still bearable; the heat record in Polynesia is 36 °C. Surrounded by the oceanic water mass, which moderates the air of the islands, the strong heats are never suffocating. Tropical rains are usually real squalls. They are frequent and can sometimes fall for several days, but they are usually short and violent. As for the water temperature, it is blissful all year round; it varies little between 27°C and 29°C, and rarely goes below 25°C at minus 50 meters (no need for a wetsuit to dive in the sea bed!).
