Each island has rough coral beaches to seaward and sandy beaches or mudflats on the lagoon side. The Islands are low lying and most are thickly covered with coconut palms. Wildlife consists mainly of seabirds, such as frigatebirds and boobie birds, which are restricted to uninhabited islands, especially North Keeling. Land crabs are common on all islands. The climate is tropical with high humidity. Temperatures range from 23°C to 30°C. The average rainfall is 2000mm per annum, falling mainly from January to August. The south-east trade winds blow most of the year, producing pleasant weather conditions.
