Samoa generally has two types of weather conditions: the wet season and the dry season.
The Wet Season (November-April):
The wet season in Samoa is caused by the North-East Trade Winds. These winds bring moist air from the Solomon Sea and the Coral Sea, resulting in heavy rainfall. The rainfall is usually at its heaviest in December and January.
The Dry Season (May-October):
The dry season is caused by the South-East Trade Winds, which bring dry air from Australia. This results in little or no rainfall. The dry season is usually at its driest in August and September.
