Nauru's climate is hot and very humid year-round because of its proximity to the equator and the ocean. Nauru is hit by [[monsoon]] rains between November and February, but rarely has cyclones. Annual rainfall is highly variable and is influenced by the [[El Niño–Southern Oscillation]], with several significant recorded droughts.<ref name="UNCCD">{{cite web |author=Nauru Department of Economic Development and Environment |year=2003 |url=http://www.unccd.int/cop/reports/asia/national/2002/nauru-eng.pdf |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110722013720/http://www.unccd.int/cop/reports/asia/national/2002/nauru-eng.pdf |archive-date=22 July 2011 |title=First National Report to the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification |publisher=[[United Nations]] |access-date=25 June 2012}}</ref><ref>{{cite book |title=Affaire de certaines terres à phosphates à Nauru |year=2003 |publisher=International Court of Justice |isbn=978-92-1-070936-1 |pages=107–109 }}</ref> The temperature on Nauru ranges between {{cvt|30|and|35|C}} during the day and is quite stable at around {{cvt|25|C}} at night.<ref>{{cite web |url= http://www.cawcr.gov.au/projects/PCCSP/pdf/6._Nauru_GH_poster.pdf |title= Pacific Climate Change Science Program |access-date=10 June 2012 |publisher= Government of Australia |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20120227175200/http://www.cawcr.gov.au/projects/PCCSP/pdf/6._Nauru_GH_poster.pdf |archive-date=27 February 2012 }}</ref>
