Is it safe to travel to Solomon Islands?

Over the last 12 months we recorded 10 events here, 9 of them severe. Storms come up most often, five in all, then floods, three, then earthquakes, two. We place the country at 3 on our 0 to 4 scale. Frequency and stakes are not the same thing: the earthquake is the rarest of the three and the one that weighs most on people, the flood comes next, the storm after. Storms and floods follow a season on this archipelago. Earthquakes do not, and they arrive at any point in the year. One thing about the record itself: everything in it falls inside a single one of its months. That says more about how long our sensors have been watching than about any cycle.

What it changes for a nomad

For a stay of several weeks, the question that matters is the wet part of the year. Storms and floods are what cut into daily life here: island flights and boats cancelled, power and connection dropping, a flooded road keeping you where you are. If your work allows it, put your tight deadlines outside that window. The earthquake is a separate matter, with no season, and the two on the record are a reminder that the ground moves. Choose where you sleep by asking how the building was put together, not from the photos. Keep your work portable: files offline, a backup of what you cannot afford to lose, and a charged power bank within reach.

  1. August 21, 2026

    Solomon Islands has recorded one earthquake in the last 12 months. Earthquakes here carry moderate stakes — they can shake buildings and services. Beyond seismic activity, the country shows minimal hazard frequency over this period. No seasonal patterns are recorded for natural hazards.

To watch right now

  • One alert is open right now: read it before you plan your day.
  • An earthquake we rate 3 sits among the most recent entries; shaking at that level can leave services patchy and be followed by more tremors.

To watch as a rule

  • Storms, the most frequent thing we record here, and the season that carries them.
  • Floods, fewer but with more at stake: roads cut off, water no longer safe to take from the tap.
  • Earthquakes, rare in our record and tied to no season, so possible at any point in the year.
  • Boat and plane links between islands, the first thing to stop when the weather turns.

Good reflexes

  • Ask your host on arrival which road goes under water first when it rains hard.
  • Keep a power bank charged and your maps downloaded for offline use.
  • Keep drinking water and food you do not need to cook where you sleep.
  • Read the national weather bulletin each morning in the rainy months, before booking a boat or a flight.
  • Tell the people you work with that the connection can drop, and keep enough offline to carry on.
