Guam

Guam doesn't fit the stereotype of tribal villages and ancient cultures untouched by the modern world. This highly developed strategic US territory is no postcard 'Tropical Paradise'. Sure there's sun, sand and wilderness but travellers know Guam mainly for the duty free shopping.

Guam Weather


This far western region of the Pacific consistently delivers temperatures between 22°C (72°F) and 30°C (86°F) at any time of the day, any day of the year. Humidity is always high, but the even temperature and fresh sea breeze means conditions are never too stuffy. Rainfall is moderately heavy for most of the year, but typhoons tend to pay the island a visit between July and November and brings with it hefty downpours.

Ominously, Guam is in a sector of the Pacific Ocean known as 'Typhoon Alley'; typhoons are said to hit the island once every eight years, usually during October and November.
