Vanuatu in December

April through October brings the best weather – dry, sunny days with temperatures around 26°C (79°F). Trade winds keep humidity manageable, and cyclone risk is minimal. This is peak season, so book accommodation early. November through March is cyclone season. While many days are perfectly fine, tropical storms can strand you for days or cancel flights. Humidity soars and afternoon downpours are common. But crowds disappear and prices drop significantly. Mount Yasur is active year-round, though visibility improves during dry months. Diving conditions stay good most of the year, with water temperatures ranging from 24-28°C (75-82°F). Cultural festivals happen throughout the year. The Back to My Roots Festival in July celebrates traditional culture across multiple islands. Pentecost Island's land diving season runs April through June – this is where bungee jumping originated.
