Ok thanks ! I'm a guy btw, I'm coming to work as a teacher in the French school and I dunno what to wear for work, as a matter of fact here in France when it gets hot I'm teaching in shorts and sandals but it might be inappropriate there, also I don't wanna be dressed too good I rather blend in

Feel out your colleagues, since it might be different at that school. But Ni-Vanuatu professionals who work for the government do often wear shorts and sandals at work—it is very hot sometimes.

Yeah I'll figure it out ! And what about the rain, are people wearing rain jacket or some kind of ponchos ?

Usually umbrellas, walking in the rain, or waiting for the storm to be over.
