Climate Chart of Hanga Roa, Easter Island, Chile

Monthly data: Temperature °C, Rain (mm), Sunshine (h) · 2013–2023

Climate overview

Temperature

The warmest monthly mean temperature occurs in February, at 23.6 °C, while the coolest occurs in September, at 18.4 °C. These are monthly averages, not daytime maximum temperatures, so they describe the overall temperature pattern rather than the hottest conditions a visitor might encounter during an individual day. Across the calendar months, the unweighted mean of monthly mean temperatures is 20.8 °C. It provides a broad summary of the year's monthly averages, but is not a day-weighted annual average and does not show day-to-day variability.

Rain

Mean daily rainfall reaches its monthly high in May, at 2.77 mm/day, and its low in December, at 1.17 mm/day. The low-rainfall month may suit visitors prioritising a lower average daily amount, while the higher figure is a useful prompt to pack rain protection. Neither average guarantees dry or wet days, and these are daily means rather than monthly totals. The unweighted mean of the monthly mean daily rainfall figures is 2.06 mm/day. This summarises the monthly averages; it does not indicate how often rain falls or how much may arrive on any particular day.

Sunshine

Mean daily sunshine is highest in December, at 12.03 hours/day, and lowest in June, at 8.17 hours/day. These figures can help with planning outdoor time around average sunshine duration, but sunshine hours are not the same as day length and cannot promise clear conditions on a given date. The unweighted mean of monthly mean daily sunshine is 10.16 hours/day, offering a broad reference across the calendar months rather than a forecast for any particular visit.

Best Travel Time Guide for Hanga Roa, Easter Island, Chile: Ideal Seasons and Weather Insights

For visitors prioritising cooler monthly averages, September is the relevant option, with a monthly mean temperature of 18.4 °C; this is not a daytime maximum, so allow for variation from one day to another. Those prioritising lower average daily rainfall could consider December, when the mean is 1.17 mm/day, while preparing for rain remains sensible because an average does not guarantee dry days. Rain protection is especially worth considering for travel in May, the month with the highest mean daily rainfall at 2.77 mm/day. This average does not describe rain frequency or predict conditions on specific dates, so use it as a planning cue rather than a promise of wet weather.

For outdoor sightseeing planned around average sunshine duration, December has the highest mean at 12.03 hours/day, while June has the lowest at 8.17 hours/day. These figures can help set expectations for typical daily sunshine, but they are not measures of daylight length and do not guarantee clear skies; keep plans flexible and check conditions closer to travel.
