The climate in the general area of Samar is typically warm and humid. Local land and sea breezes prevent extremely high temperatures at the beaches, so that a maximum often occurs just before the onset of the sea breeze. The minimum temperature is reached just before dawn. Mean annual temperature is 27.5 degrees Celsius and relative humidity is in the low eighties.

Aguada Island is the major source of spring water in the area. A large reservoir has been constructed in Barangay Ternate of the same island.

ENVIRONMENTAL SETTINGVEGETATION
The Spaniards named the group of islands "Islas Naranjos" because of the oranges that grew on the island during the galleon days. Unfortunately, the natives did not know how to care for this type of trees and eventually they all died and were replaced by the sturdier coconut trees which are now the major vegetation in the area. Crop planting like rice and vegetables are virtually nil.

ENVIRONMENTAL SETTINGWILDLIFE
Naranjo Islands has not much wildlife to speak of. This may be attributed to the lack of fresh spring water in the islands and hardwoods. There are no endangered species that may be dislocated upon the transformation of the area into a tourism zone.
