The Society Islands ( Tahiti, Moorea, Bora Bora, Huahine, Raiatea ) and
the Tuamotu atolls (Rangiroa, Fakarava, Manihi) have a mild tropical climate,
mostly sunny and pleasant. The average annual temperature in the Society Islands is 85 F with little
variation through the year. As a result of vegetation and wind factors, high islands ( Tahiti, Moorea, Bora
Bora, Huahine, Raiatea ) are generally a little more humid than atolls
(Rangiroa, Fakarava, Manihi), which are more exposed to the cooling influence
of the trade winds.
The temperature, which is always pleasant, is cooled
by the trade winds of the Pacific that blow throught the year. The average
ambient temperature is 27 degrees, and the waters of the lagoons are a fairly
constant 26 degrees.
