Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What weather and wind conditions should we typically expect during our stay in early March?

Early March on Fanning Island is hot, humid, and equatorial. You can expect consistent daytime highs averaging around 80°F to 84°F (26.6°C to 29°C). Because it sits just a few degrees above the equator, March experiences "mostly cloudy" skies with a pattern of moderate, passing tropical rain showers. The wind is dominated by the Northeast Trade Winds, blowing a steady 10 to 20 knots. While breeze is guaranteed, major storm systems are rare this time of year.
