Editing Nauru (section)

=== Climate ===
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. Annual rainfall is highly variable and is influenced by the [[El Niño–Southern Oscillation]], with several significant recorded droughts.<ref name= "UNCCD"/><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 |accessdate=10 June 2012 |publisher=Government of Australia |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20120227175200/http://www.cawcr.gov.au/projects/PCCSP/pdf/6._Nauru_GH_poster.pdf |archivedate=27 February 2012}}</ref>

Streams and rivers do not exist in Nauru. Water is gathered from roof catchment systems or brought to Nauru as ballast on ships returning for loads of phosphate.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.britannica.com/place/Yaren |title=Yaren {{!}} district, Nauru |website=Encyclopedia Britannica |language=en |accessdate=2 September 2019 |archive-date=8 September 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150908204235/https://www.britannica.com/place/Yaren |url-status=live }}</ref>
