Name	Tuvalu
Capital	Funafuti
Languages	Tuvaluan, English
Currency	Australian dollar
Climate	From March through October, the eastern breeze and the average temperature of 26 to 30 oC create a relatively comfortable climate. A shift to western wind in November remains so until February to bring more rains and higher temperature. The annual average precipitation is 3000 mm in Funafuti. Since the country is close to the Equator, typhoons seldom hit the island, but once it hits, the entire island may be covered by water. Lately the global warming and the El Nino have caused more frequent typhoon damages.
