Oyashima has five types of climates: tropical wet, tropical dry, humid subtropical and Mediterranean (both are in higher-altitude areas) characterized by relatively high temperature, oppressive humidity and plenty of rainfall. There are two seasons in the country, the wet season and the dry season, based upon the amount of rainfall. This is also dependent on location in the country as some areas experience rain all throughout the year. Based on temperature, the warmest months of the year are March through October; the winter monsoon brings cooler air from November to February. May is the warmest month, and January, the coolest. | |||

Relative humidity is high in Oyashima. A high amount of moisture or vapor in the air makes hot temperatures feel hotter. This quantity of moisture is due to different factors – the extraordinary {{wp|evaporation}} from the seas that surrounds the country on northern and eastern sides, to the different [[Prevailing Winds]] in the different seasons of the year, and finally, to the abundant rains so common in a tropical country. The first may be considered as general causes of the great humidity, which is generally observed throughout the year. The last two may influence the different degree of humidity for the different months of the year and for the different regions of the archipelago. | |||
=== | The climate of the country is divided into two main seasons: | ||
# the rainy season, from June to the early part of October; | |||
# the dry season, from the later part of October to May. The dry season may be subdivided further into (a) the cool dry season, from the later part of October to February; and (b) the hot dry season, from March to May. The months of April and May, the hot and dry months when schools are on their long break between academic years, is referred to coloquially as "summer" (after the [[summer]] season which lasts from June to August in most countries). | |||
