The climate of Easter Island (Chile)
Easter Island, or Rapa Nui, is well known and has belonged to Chile since 1888. Of course the island is mainly known for its group of icons, also called Moai. These icons were made by the local population about 1000 AD. The island has entirely been placed on the World heritage list of Unesco. The climate of Easter Island is a humid subtropical climate. It has all the characteristics of a tropical climate but, due to its maritime situation, has a stronger influence from the sea. The temperature is nearly constant throughout the year. However due to the sea-breeze the precipitation is different from other tropical areas. Most rain here falls in the winter months and April. The winters are mild. Cyclones and tropical storms mostly rage past Easter Island.
