Savu is dry for large parts of the year, due to hot winds blowing from
the Australian continent. Most rain falls during the months from
November to March. Between 82% & 94% of all rainfalls during the
west monsoon, with little or no rain falling for the months of August to
October. The mean annual rainfall for Savu Island is 1019 mm. During
the dry season, the islands’ streams dry up, so the islanders depend on
wells for their water supply. The land is covered for the most part by
grassland and palms. Coral reef and sandy beaches fringe the three
islands.
