Fiji's Weather & Temperature

The mild, stable weather of Fiji makes it easy to plan a trip year round. The islands are spread out over the ocean allowing for less rainfall than a massive landmass would produce. There are two seasons in Fiji. The dry, hot season, lasting from November through April and the warm, wet season, lasting from May through October.

The main island of Viti Levu is dryer and more temperate on the west-side (Nadi side) where as the east end and capital of Suva is known for its wet and cloudy weather. The islands off the coast are generally sunny and more stable than the mainland particularly the Mamanuca Group off the west-side of Viti Levu.

Fiji enjoys compatible weather all the year with cooler conditions in the winter, May to October.

The water temperature in Fiji fluctuates very little (average around 26oC) making its crystal blue waters perfect for year round snorkelling and other water activities.

The threat of tropical storms such as a cyclone or hurricane is most prominent between November and April AKA the hurricane season. If such a storm occurs during your stay there, consult with local residents for the safety measures and keep updated via the local news as they pride themselves on keeping the people of Fiji informed when in crisis.
