New Caledonia : climate and when to go to Noumea
From December to March: it is the hot season, known as cyclone season. The intertropical zone of convergence is then located in the southern hemisphere, its mean position oscillating around the 15th parallel. During this season, the formation of about ten (on average) tropical disturbances occurs in the area between the southern equator and eastern Australia. These perturbations, at first more or less stationary, then have an erratic trajectory. They cause torrential rains and winds that increase with the importance of the phenomenon. April and May: it is a transitional season. The area of inter-tropical convergence rises towards the north. Tropical disturbances are rare and generally not very active. Rainfall decreases and temperatures decrease significantly. from June to August: it's the cool season. The intertropical convergence zone is located in the northern hemisphere. The cold fronts of perturbations of polar origin cross the Tasman Sea and sometimes reach the territory. Their passage is accompanied by precipitation often abundant, especially on the south of the Grande Terre and a burst of west wind blowing sometimes in storm. This peculiarity gave them the name of « coups d'ouest ». The temperature of the air passes through its annual minimum between mid-July and mid-August. September to November: it is a transitional season. The zone of inter-tropical convergence descends to the south, crossing the equator. The subtropical anticyclonic belt, which then reaches its maximum importance, protects our regions from disturbances of polar origin. The trade wind blows almost permanently, it is the most beautiful period of the year, but it is also the dry season, favorable to the bushfires.

Weather uncertainties 2023 to go to Noumea ?


When traveling in the tropics as a seaside, rain is not welcome. If you see this indicator, with possible storms, that does not mean that it will rain all day long. When we observe the local rainfall, it is either really zero or very weak. Meteorologists prefer to be pessimistic. So observe below, the skies photographed during a week announced stormy in Asia. It did not rain once. I invite you to integrate this parameter before going to Noumea for a good trip to the sun!
