What is the weather like in the Polynesian islands in July & August? Is the dry season still hot or beginning to cool off by then?
The French Polynesian islands are actually at their coolest during the months of July and August, and are also cooler in June, September and October than they are during the winter and spring months. It depends on which islands you are visiting, but temperatures are typically between two and four degrees centigrade cooler during July and August than they are during the winter and spring months, so expect temperatures of between 23 and 28 degrees centigrade.
