Sea temperature



The sea in Tokelau is always warm enough to swim in all, in fact the water temperature is around 29 °C (84 °F) all year round.

Tropical cyclones



Tokelau lies in the path of tropical cyclones. Cyclones are usually formed from November to mid-May, though they are most likely from late December to early April. Sometimes, however, they have occurred outside of this period, as happened with Cyclone Keli in June 1997. A particularly destructive cyclone on these islands was Cyclone Percy at the end of February 2005.

When to go



The best time to visit the Tokelaus runs from mid-May to October, since it is the driest period of the year and out of the cyclone season, although showers and thunderstorms are still frequent.
Given the albeit rare precedents in which cyclones have occurred outside of this period, for greater security, you can restrict the period to July-mid-October.

What to pack



All year round, pack 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.
