January
The middle of Fiji’s wet season, January, is hot and humid with frequent afternoon showers or tropical downpours. It’s a quieter time in the islands after the Christmas holiday peak, so resorts are calmer and prices softer. Seas are warm, coral reefs are thriving, and it’s still a great time for water-based activities if you don’t mind the odd shower.
February
The weather remains warm in February, making it ideal to enjoy water activities, exploring coral reefs and cultural events. February brings intermittent rainfall. The islands are at their greenest, and visitor numbers are low. Great for romantic getaways if you’re happy with a few rainy spells.
March
The seas are warm and clear, making this an excellent time for snorkelling and diving, with colourful coral and abundant marine life. While you may experience the odd tropical shower, temperatures remain comfortably between 24°C and 31°C, keeping the landscapes vibrant, lush, and beautifully green.
April
April is a time of beauty and renewal as the weather becomes more stable with plenty of clear skies. The landscape is lush, seas are calm, and the humidity begins to drop. Easter can bring a livelier atmosphere with local festivals and family travellers
May
The start of the dry season. Warm, sunny days and clear skies make May a favourite month for many. It’s an excellent time for diving, hiking, and island-hopping before the peak crowds arrive
June
June marks the start of peak season, with settled weather bringing warm, sunny days and pleasantly cooler nights. It’s a popular month for both families and couples, offering excellent conditions for beach days, reef exploration, and cultural experiences. Snorkelling and diving are at their best, so it’s worth booking early, especially in the Mamanucas and Yasawas.
July
One of the most popular months in Fiji. The weather is consistently sunny with low humidity, making it ideal for exploring and water sports. The Bula Festival in Nadi adds a lively cultural element.
August
Another peak month, with excellent conditions for diving, snorkelling, and surfing. Calm seas and dry, sunny weather attract many visitors, especially families. It’s wise to plan and book activities.
September
Still dry and sunny, but with slightly fewer crowds than July and August. A lovely month for couples seeking great weather and a calmer pace. Excellent underwater visibility for divers
October
The last month of the dry season, with warm weather and fewer crowds. Fiji Day celebrations on 10 October bring parades, music, and festivities. Seas remain calm, and it’s a wonderful time for both cultural experiences and beaches.
November
The wet season begins, with rising humidity and the chance of showers. Still plenty of sunshine between rains, and visitor numbers dip, making it a quieter, more affordable time. Good surf starts building in the Mamanucas.
December
Festive season brings a busy atmosphere, especially around Christmas and New Year. The weather is hot and humid with tropical showers, but seas are warm and inviting. Book early if you’re travelling over the holidays, as resorts fill quickly.
