- WHEN TO VISIT
Best Time to Visit Guam
Guam is a year-round destination thanks to its tropical climate, but weather patterns can affect travel experiences. Please be aware the typhoon season runs from June through December.
Spring
The best time to experience the culture of Guam is in March, when locals are celebrating Mes Chamorro, Guam's History and Heritage month. April-June are usually less crowded.
Summer
Summer has it's pros and cons. Being peak rainy season, you'll probably have some showers on your trip. But the island also celebrates Guam Liberation Day in July, which is another great time to experience the culture.
Fall
As the tail end of typhoon season, it'll still be pretty normal to have rain on your trip. But if rain doesn't dissuade you, Fall is an amazing time of year to visit.
Winter
This is the most popular time to visit Guam, with sunny weather and lower rainfall. This is considered the "dry season." Since Guam is a tropical island, you'll still expect mild-to-warm temperatures, too.
Fun fact!
I was born on Guam! That’s why I’m so passionate about encouraging more travelers to visit the island.
