Climate conditions and crowd levels for each month of the year.
January brings the wettest conditions Comoros sees all year, with temperatures holding at 30°C (86°F) during the day and 23°C (74°F) overnight. Rainfall averages around 363mm, arriving in intense bursts that can last hours.
February stays firmly in wet-season territory at 30°C (86°F) highs and 23°C (73°F) lows, with around 292mm of rain. Still substantial, though slightly less relentless than January. The islands are lush and the air has a clean, washed quality between storms.
March is technically the end of the main wet season push and can feel like one of the more oppressive months. Highs reach 30°C (87°F), the warmest of the year, with 23°C (73°F) nights and about 279mm of rain. Afternoons in Moroni can feel close and humid.
April sees temperatures ease fractionally to 30°C (86°F) highs and 22°C (72°F) lows, with 315mm of rain. Interestingly a slight uptick from March. The wet season is theoretically winding down. But April in Comoros still delivers serious rainfall.
May marks the transition, with temperatures dropping to 29°C (85°F) highs and 21°C (70°F) lows, and rainfall easing to around 257mm. You'll start to notice more consistent dry spells between showers, and the light quality shifts.
June feels like a different island from the peak wet months. Expect 28°C (83°F) highs, 19°C (67°F) lows, and around 267mm of rain, though it tends to fall more predictably. Evenings around Moroni become pleasant.
July is one of the most comfortable months in Comoros, with highs of 27°C (81°F) and lows dropping to a relatively fresh 18°C (65°F). Rainfall sits around 244mm, lower than June, though still present. The southeast trade winds make days feel airier than the numbers suggest.
August matches July for temperature, 27°C (81°F) highs, 18°C (65°F) lows, but rainfall falls sharply to about 150mm, making this noticeably drier. Beaches like Mitsamiouli tend to be at their most reliably clear and calm.
September continues the dry season with 28°C (82°F) highs, 19°C (66°F) lows, and just 109mm of rainfall. This is arguably Comoros at its most agreeable, with warm but not oppressive days and swimmable conditions around the islands.
October is the driest month of the year, 97mm of rainfall, 29°C (84°F) highs, 20°C (68°F) lows, and the last reliable window before the rains return. Moheli Marine Park sees some of its best underwater visibility during this period.
November signals the return of the wet season, with temperatures climbing back to 30°C (86°F) highs and 21°C (68°F) lows, and rainfall rising to around 109mm. Showers become more frequent and less predictable as November progresses.
Late December brings noticeably heavier rain, about 218mm, with highs of 30°C (87°F) and lows of 22°C (72°F). The wet season is settling in. Travelers bound for Comoros should expect afternoon downpours as the norm. Pack accordingly.
