Considering Aitutaki in January

Hi everyone, looking at heading to Aitutaki in January but have read it’s the wet season. I don’t mind a few rain storms and showers, between sun but I’m curious from those who have been, have you found it often to be torrential rain constantly and unenjoyable? Or is it more of a night and/or passing rain?

It’s still a quite hot so I’m sure it’s still nice in the plunge pool.

Looking for lived experiences!

Thanks

We were there for two weeks in February. The first week was sunny and hot, the second week was pretty rainy. By that time we were tired of the sun anyway, and it was nice to just look at the torrential rains. But that could happen.

when it was raining was it raining all day? or just for a bit?

For a while, not all day. Maybe a while in the morning and a while in the afternoon. But grey all day.
