Traveller notes on Fernando de Noronha

What people who have been say about the place — the year-round notes first, then month by month.

Fernando de Noronha's forum calls November good, though not the very best of the year — that stretch runs roughly August through October, before the December-through-March rainy season sets in. Regulars note temperatures stay warm, 25-30°C, essentially year-round regardless of rain, and flag that the island's whole draw is nature, so a rainy day here means genuinely limited alternative activities.
