Federated States of Micronesia in December

Drier weather returns; Christmas flights full of returning families.

• Yap and Chuuk (west) · Colonia (Yap), Weno and the Chuuk Lagoonfine

  Drier and calmer Jan–Apr, which is also the Yap manta mating season; the western states sit closer to the typhoon track, most active Aug–Nov. Lagoon diving in Chuuk runs all year.

• Pohnpei and Kosrae (east) · Kolonia, Palikir, Lelu, Tofolfine

  Among the wettest inhabited places on Earth: showers most days all year, least rain Jan–Mar. Typhoons are rare this far east, though storms can form nearby.
