Tonga Climate
The climate of Tonga is characterized by the contrast between a wet season (December-April) and dry season (May-November). At least some 60-70% of annual rainfall falls during the wet season. Owing to the seasonal proximity of the South Pacific Convergence Zone, the northern islands of Tonga receive more rainfall (approx. 2600 mm year-1) than the southern islands (approx. 1700 mm year-1).
Temperatures vary likewise. Mean annual temperature at Niuafo'ou is about 26 °C while on Tongatapu it is about 23 °C. This variation manifests the distinction between the tropical climate and environment of northern Tonga and the subtropical character of its southern parts.
In all parts of Tonga, evapotranspiration usually exceeds rainfall only during June and July. Severe water shortages can occur in places during these latter months, particularly in precipitation during the preceding months has been lower than usual.
The two principal causes of rainfall variation in Tonga are the occurrence of tropical cyclones, which can result in unusually wet periods, and an El Nino event, which can cause prolonged droughts. The Kingdom of Tonga thus has a tropical climate which is well suited to all tropical horticultural crops throughout the year.

Overview of Ha'apai Off the beaten path but easily accessible, Ha'apai is central in both Tonga's geography and history. In the middle of the kingdom, 155km (96 miles) north of Nuku'alofa and 108km (67 miles) south of Vava'u, Ha'apai consists of numerous small, atoll-like islands scattered across the sea. The largest and most often visited, Lifuka and Foa, are linked by a causeway. On the horizon to their west sits the active volcano Tofua, where puffs of steam spew from the rim above its crater lake, and the perfectly shaped cone of its inactive neighbor, Kao. The Dutchman Abel Tasman landed on one of the islands in 1643. Capt. James Cook was so impressed with the Tongans' hospitality when he visited Lifuka in 1773 and 1777 that he named the group the "Friendly Islands" (he sailed away unaware that the local chief had plotted to do him in). Fletcher Christian and the Bounty mutineers cast Capt. William Bligh adrift in a longboat off Tofua in 1789. In 1806 the locals ransacked the British privateer

Gwembe Tonga 3 - The Geography The Gwembe Valley is formed by the Zambezi River as it cuts across southern Africa. The valley forms the boundary between Rhodesia and Zambia. In the late 1950's a dam was built on the lower Zambezi, just below the valley, forming Lake Kariba. Due to the permanent flooding of their traditional farmlands, the Valley Tonga were relocated. Although their traditional way of life was forever disrupted, the data collected by the anthropologists sent in to assess the impact of the relocation, as well as the causes of endemic famine in the area, forms the basis of this simulation.

Visited by Paolo IV3UHL in 1993. Daily motorboat shuttle takes you to Atata Island from Tongatapu harbor. Price is inexpensive. Once at Atata you can ask for a BURE, THE NEAREST ONE TO THE SHORE, to set up your antenna array. Right on the other side of the island, my 40m dipole antenna with coax cable (even if doubting it's still working) still should be hanged to real tall palm trees. There are days that you are the only guest in the hotel ,that means complete "relax and DX" Background Information for A35 by Paul Kidd, A35RK (Paul QSY’d to the USA, and is no longer in A3): Arrival Information:
