Milne Bay: Weather
The weather can be unpredictable at times with sudden and heavy torrential rainstorms. Expect variations in weather patterns between the mainland and the islands.
October to December generally enjoy the best and most consistent weather while January to March usually experience the and destructive north westerly winds (Yalasi). This is also the cyclone season when areas lying between 15 to 30 degrees south of the equator may experience strong winds and rough seas. The aftermath can be quite devastating. Alotau is normally sheltered from most of this by the protective horseshoe formed by the Owen Stanley range of mountains.
July to August is the harvest/planting season as it is the rainy part of the year. Usually Alotau and the Bay areas record the highest annual rainfalls for Milne Bay Province.
June to September is the wet season in the Bay and January to July is the wet season on the north and south coasts of Milne bay mainland.
