Climate

Nauru's climate is characterized by a tropical pattern heavily influenced by the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO). The island nation typically experiences year-round high temperatures averaging between 26-32°C (79-90°F), with minimal seasonal variation. Climate models indicate that Nauru is likely to face increasing average temperatures, with projections suggesting a rise of up to 1°C by 2030 compared to late 20th century baselines. This warming trend is expected to lead to more frequent extreme heat events and potentially impact the island's already limited freshwater resources.
