Best time to visit Samoa

Timing is simple in Samoa: every destination here peaks in August, so one set of dates works for the whole country.

Averaged across every destination listed, Samoa is at its best in August, scoring 72 out of 100, with July close behind at 68. February is the weakest month nationally at 55. The window is narrow: only 3 months come within eight points of the best, so an itinerary covering several of these places should be built around that rather than around any one city's own peak.

Samoa is represented here by Apia alone. Its year peaks in August at 28 °C with rain on 14 days, and bottoms out in January at 28.8 °C. With one destination there is no internal variation to plan around — the month is the only decision.
