Best Time of Year-Micronesia(Truk & Palau)?

Aloha,

I have a choice of going to Palau and Truk in either May or Nov. Would appreciate input on what time of year is best for both locations. I know typhoon season runs about Aug-Oct,for Truk and that Palau is pretty much out of typhoon alley in that part of the world. Also suspect that rainy season is spring and summer but winter months could be windy but just guessing on that. Looking for good visibility and sunshine. Thanks.

I was there in February. We had a typhoon (Mytag) the last day, but otherwise all days were diveable. I know someone who went there is June, and never got out to the good spots because of wind.

November is probably OK, but May has a better chance of great weather. If given a choice, I'd take May.

I've been to Truk twice in May. The first time the weather was ok most of the week with a couple rough days. The second time we had the fringes of a typhoon hit us so we couldn't dive for a couple days, and even once it wasn't pouring down rain the conditions were rough. Next time I'm shooting for January or February.
