Climate
Apart from New Zealand in the far south, the Pacific Islands are tropical in climate and experience only small fluctuations in temperature and daylight throughout the year. Typical daytime temperatures are between 24 - 31 °C (75 - 89 °C).
Whether we consider the climate consists of two main climates : the dry season (winter), from June to November and the wet, cyclone season (summer), from December to May. On average, temperatures vary from 25 to 28°C throughout the year and the rate of the trade-winds slows down in the summertime (cyclone season).
Polynesia

The barrier reef stretching 1600 km and encircling the mainland island is the world's largest lagoon, and surely one of the most beautiful.
