Niue - The climate in short



The climate of Niue is tropical, with a hot, muggy and rainy period from December to April and a cooler and drier period from June to October, during which the south-east trade winds prevail.
Niue is an island located in the Pacific Ocean, at 18 degrees south latitude and east of Tonga.
In the hot period, temperatures hover around 29/30 °C (84/86 °F) during the day and around 23/24 °C (73/75 °F) at night, while in the cooler period, daytime temperatures drop to around 27 °C (80.5 °F) and night-time temperatures to around 20/21 °C (68/70 °F).
From May to October, but especially from July to September, cool air masses can sometimes arrive from the south, which can lower the minimum temperature to about 15 °C (59 °F) and the maximum to 23/24 °C (73/75 °F).

Tropical cyclones



Niue can be affected by tropical cyclones. Cyclones are usually formed from November to mid-May, though they are most likely from late December to early April.

When to go



The best time to travel to Niue is from mid-May to October, since it is the coolest and sunniest period of the year. It must be said, however, that it is the winter, and it can sometimes get a little cool in the evening and at night, so it may be a good idea to bring a sweatshirt or sweater.

What to pack



In winter (June to August): bring light clothes for the day, a scarf for the breeze, a sweatshirt for the evening, and possibly a light raincoat or umbrella.
In summer (December to February): bring tropics-friendly, loose-fitting clothing, a sun hat, a scarf for the breeze, a light sweatshirt for the evening, and a light raincoat or umbrella.
