Wetter in Teahupo'o im Januar

Moorea-forum threads on January rainfall agree it sits at the heart of the South Pacific wet season, but regulars are consistent that the rain itself doesn't ruin days: showers arrive in short, quick-moving bursts, mostly in the afternoon or evening, similar to the pattern Hawaii visitors will recognize, leaving mornings clear and sunny more often than not. One long-running thread notes weather moves in three-to-four day cycles, so a week-plus stay should see a real mix rather than one washed-out trip. When the sun is fully out, posters warn it runs genuinely intense, humidity described as wilting by midday. The trade-off for the wetter season is thinner crowds and softer prices than the July-through-September peak. The record: 28.3C days feeling like a sticky 32C, 23.5C nights, a notably high 302mm across 22.4 days, 82 percent humidity, a 28.5C sea and 9.6 hours of sun - the wettest entry on Moorea's whole calendar, matching the wet-season framing closely.
