Monthly means and every record on this page are computed from NOAA GHCN-Daily observations stored per station, per year, per month, and the capital list is GeoNames, CC BY 4.0. Nothing here is modelled, interpolated or estimated, and a month the archive never covered is left out rather than filled in. See how this is built.

What is the weather in Pago Pago right now?+−
81.5°F at Pago Pago/Tafuna Intl, measured at 09:50 local on Friday, 13 November 2026. This is the live reading from the station this page reads, after our quality checks. It is an observation rather than a forecast: it says what the weather IS, not what it will be.
When did temperature records begin in Pago Pago?+−
The archive held here for Pago Pago, American Samoa starts in 1966, which is 60 years of record, and 44,126 stored daily values, each one a maximum or a minimum.
Which station measures Pago Pago's temperature?+−
Pago Pago/Tafuna Intl (NSTU), 8 m above sea level. Every figure on this page comes from that one station rather than from a city-wide average, so it is a measurement at a known place rather than an estimate for an area.
How is the temperature measured and checked?+−
Readings arrive from METAR reports from the aerodrome and are quality controlled before they appear: a value outside a plausible range, or one that jumps further than air can move in the time between readings, is rejected rather than published. Every figure shows its source and the time it was observed.
Are there gaps in Pago Pago's record?+−
The record runs from 1966 to 2026, and it is not equally deep across the year: the thinnest of the 12 months has 60 years of readings behind its average and the fullest has 61. Gaps are left as gaps: a month the archive never covered is omitted rather than filled in, which is why some months on this page carry no record.
Is Pago Pago getting hotter?+−
In its hottest month it has. Across 60 Marchs between 1967 and 2026, the average March high at Pago Pago/Tafuna Intl has risen about 0.4°F per decade. That is a straight-line fit through this one station's record: it is not corrected for a station that moved or changed instrument, and it is a description of the readings rather than a climate attribution.
How does Pago Pago compare with other capitals?+−
It is the 75th warmest of the 230 capital cities with a full twelve months of record here, ranked on annual mean rather than on any single day, and 210th by the width of its annual swing. Majuro, Mata-Utu, Mogadishu sit closest to it on that ranking.
