Tofay is a small island in the Solomon Islands, part of the Reef Islands group. The live forecast above shows a typical tropical pattern — expect warm, humid conditions with a high chance of passing showers or isolated thunderstorms throughout the day.

What drives Tofay’s weather?

The Reef Islands sit in the northwest monsoon belt, just south of the equator. Tofay’s weather is shaped by the South Pacific Convergence Zone, which pulls in moist, unstable air year-round. The wet season runs from November to April, with the trade wind season bringing slightly drier and more settled conditions from May to October.

What should travellers expect?

Daytime temperatures hover in the low 30s Celsius, with little variation between seasons. Overnight lows rarely drop below 24°C. The main variable is rainfall — heavy downpours can develop quickly, especially in the afternoon. Sea breezes provide some relief, but humidity stays high.

Yes, small island airports like Tofay’s can close during heavy rain or low cloud. Flights are most often disrupted in the wet season, particularly from December to February. Allow flexible travel plans and check local advice.

Is Tofay affected by cyclones?

The Reef Islands sit within the southwest Pacific cyclone belt. The official season runs November to April, with highest risk in January and February. Monitor the severe weather warning page for updates.
