# Weather mid-March Country forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea
rhiannonjacek 23:39 UTC 07 Jun 2015 | Hello! We're looking on going to the South Pacific from New Zealand at the end of March (March 19th-ish).. Any idea what weather is like? I've heard it's the end of rainy season.. but does that mean a shower at the end of the day, or does that mean rain all day? Is there a difference between islands? (Samoa, Fiji?) Thanks in advance! |

When I travelled, it rained almost every day, but often just a light shower for a few mins or so. Occasionally, a day of more persistent rain, but still quite light and on/off. Personally, I quite enjoy it - the cool rain is a nice and refreshing cleanse from the warmer, more humid weather... and a bit of rain when you're out in the water doesn't really matter. It is still the end of the season though so storms and heavier rains is still possible, so you will be taking a weather-risk methinks wherever you go. | 1
