Guam: When to Go

Go to Guam whenever the boss gives you time off. The temperature hovers around a balmy 27°C (81°F) all year, so don't worry about the weather. If it's a little more humid between July and November, at least you're never far from a cooling dip in the ocean. The only time you should really avoid Guam is during Japanese holiday seasons: Christmas, Golden Week (the last week of April and the first week of May), and Obon, in August.

Weather

This far western region of the Pacific consistently delivers temperatures between 22°C (72°F) and 30°C (86°F) at any time of the day, any day of the year. Humidity is always high, but the even temperature and fresh sea breeze means conditions are never too stuffy. Rainfall is moderately heavy for most of the year, but typhoons tend to pay the island a visit between July and November and brings with it hefty downpours.

Ominously, Guam is in a sector of the Pacific Ocean known as 'Typhoon Alley'; typhoons are said to hit the island once every eight years, usually during October and November.
