=== Climate ===
Being slightly north of the [[Equator]], Majuro has a [[tropical rainforest climate]] ([[Köppen climate classification|Af]]) but not an [[equatorial climate]] because [[trade wind]]s are prevailing throughout the year though they are frequently interrupted during the summer months by the movement of the [[Intertropical Convergence Zone]] across the area.<ref name="25Nma">{{cite web |title=CHAPTER TWO—PACIFIC ISLANDS REGION |url=https://www.eastwestcenter.org/fileadmin/stored/misc/PacificClimateAssessment02PacificIslands.pdf |website=www.eastwestcenter.org |access-date=2019-04-04 |archive-date=2011-11-07 |df=mdy-all |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111107215301/https://www.eastwestcenter.org/fileadmin/stored/misc/PacificClimateAssessment02PacificIslands.pdf |url-status=dead}}</ref> [[cyclone|Typhoon]]s are rare. Temperatures are extremely consistent throughout the course of the year with average temperatures around {{convert|27|°C|0}}. The hottest month is only 0.4 degree Celsius hotter than the coldest month. Very rarely does the temperature fall below {{convert|21|°C|0}}.<ref name=":0" /> Majuro sees roughly {{convert|3200|mm|0|sp=us}} of precipitation annually, with fall (Sep - Nov) being both the hottest and the rainiest season.
