Climate
Springtime is full of festivals in
Palau and can make an interesting time to visit. February and March are
Palau's non-rainy months, while June to August is the stormiest period.
Typhoons tend to hit around this time when they come, which isn't
often. Palau's water temperatures are in the low 80s °F (high 20s
°C) year round, much to divers' delight.
Festivals
Spring is a busy time in the islands.
During the last week in April or the first week in May, the Palau Sport
Fishing Association hosts their Annual
Fishing Derby, attracting anglers from all
over the region. The islanders' attentions are brought back to shore on
22 April for Earth Day. On 9 July, the Belau Arts
Festival highlights the islands' best artists
and artisans. The third week of November brings Tourism Awareness Week - an
extra dose of haole
consciousness - to Palau.
