Ethnic groups
The absolute majority of the population of the Marshall Islands are Marshallese. This is a Micronesian people, which is divided into two ethnographic groups: raylik and Rahtak (in geography in a slightly different pronunciation: Ralik and Ratak, so called two island chains of the country). The share of foreigners living in the country is only 2.3 %: this is the lowest indicator among Pacific states after the Northern Mariana Islands. The largest non-Marshall ethnic group is the Kosrae people from the island of Kusaye in the Carolinas. The Marshall Islands are also home to a small group of Americans and Filipinos.

Borders
The Micronesian state of the Marshall Islands is a cluster of atolls and islandslocated in the Pacific Ocean slightly north of the equator. The country's capital, Majuro, is located 3,438 km west of Honolulu, the administrative center of the U.S. state of Hawaii, 3,701 km southeast of Tokyo, the capital of Japan, and 3,241 km southeast of Saipan, the capital of the Northern Mariana Islands. The nearest archipelagos are the Caroline Islands, which belong to the Federated States of Micronesia and are located southwest of the Marshall Islands, and the Gilbert Islands lying to the southeast and belonging to the Republic of Kiribati.

Seasons
A distinctive feature of the regional climate of the Marshall Islands is the change in climatic conditions from north to south, including an increase in precipitation in this direction. The northern islands of the country have a tropical, semi-arid climate. For example, in the northernmost atoll of the Marshall Islands, Bokake, it is almost semi-desert, although the amount of precipitation falling on it is close to the indicators of the western prairies of the United States. This is due to several factors: soil porosity, salt mists, and salty ground water. Precipitation in the Marshall Islands increases as it moves south and reaches its maximum on Ebon Atoll, the southernmost island of the country, located in the equatorial belt.Another important climatic feature of the local climate is the location of the Marshall Islands in the zone of north-eastern trade winds. For most of the year, the islands are dominated by winds blowing from the northeast. They are characterized by high humidity. Rainstorms are common on all but the northernmost islands.

Typical of the archipelago, although rare, are tropical storms and hurricanes, or typhoons, during which there is a large amount of precipitation, strong winds that break trees and destroy houses, as well as high waves that threaten to wash away low-lying islands. Droughts occur. The cause of climate disasters is most often El Nino.

The monthly precipitation level in the Marshall Islands is about 300-380 mm. On the northern islands of the country, from 1000 to 1750 mm of precipitation falls annually, on the southern islands-3000-4300 mm. In the northern islands, the heaviest rains occur from September to November, while in the southern islands they fall all year round.

The temperature regime in the archipelago remains constant throughout the year. The difference between the coldest and warmest months is 1-2 °C. The lowest nighttime temperatures are usually 2-4 °C above the lowest daytime temperature. The average annual temperature in the Marshall Islands is 27.8 °C.
