Where the risk actually is

Risk is rarely spread evenly across a country. The base colour is the code the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs gives Nauru as a whole; shaded regions are those the UK Foreign Office names in an advisory against travel.

What the warnings actually cover

  • Whole countryNo specific warning. No government currently advises against travel to any part of this country. The colour reflects general caution levels only, not a warned area.

Shading marks whole regions named in an advisory, but a warning is often narrower — a border strip, one road, or a single city. Read the wording, and check the official advisory linked below.

When to go

Average daytime high and nightly low for Yaren (the middle of the country — there is no capital in the dataset), over 2010-2019. Bars are rainfall; the colour band is how hot the days get.

Mildest and driest around May to November.

Daytime high hot
Top figure is the average daytime high, below it the average nightly low, and millimetres of rain under each bar. Figures are the average daytime high; bar heights are the month's rainfall. Shaded months are the mild, drier ones. Source: NASA POWER daily observations, 2010-2019, public domain.
