Christmas Island

Does Christmas Island have a hurricane season?

My dad and I are thinking of taking a trip to the Australia owned territory "Christmas Island" (not Kiritimati which is south of Hawaii). The relative location is due south of the Java Trench (south of singapore) west of australia, east of the cocos islands. Any ideas?

1. Christmas Island has a tropical climate, with a wet and dry season. Here in the Philippines, also having a tropical climate, we experience the wet season starting from June to December. Summer starts at March. Here's more on Christmas Island's climate: "Christmas Island is located 115 miles north of the equator, so the weather is warm year round. Temperatures range from 80 to 85 degrees during the day, and 70 to 75 degrees at night. Fairly steady tradewinds of 10 to 20 knots keep the humidity moderate, and there is minimal rainfall. The sun rays are very intense near the equator, so we recommend anglers bring plenty of sun protection including 45 SPF or higher sunscreen, hat and light protective clothing." http://www.fishdive.com/christmas/xmasclimate.htm
