Fiji’s tropical climate delivers two distinct seasons: a dry, cooler period from May to October and a humid, wet season from November to April. The live forecast above shows current conditions for Nadi, the main gateway, while Suva on the southeast coast tends to be rainier year-round.
How does Fiji’s weather change throughout the year?
From May to October, the southeast trade winds keep humidity lower, with average daytime temperatures around 26–28°C. This is the driest period for Nadi and the Mamanuca Islands, though Suva still sees a fair share of showers. November to April brings higher humidity, heavier afternoon rain, and the risk of tropical cyclones, especially between January and March. Daytime temperatures hover around 29–31°C, with warm nights.
What are the rainfall differences between Nadi and Suva?
Nadi, on the western side of Viti Levu, receives roughly 1,800 mm of rain annually, with a distinct dry season from June to September. Suva, exposed to prevailing winds, gets about 3,000 mm, with rain spread more evenly across the year. For travellers, Nadi’s weather by month shows a clearer dip in rainfall during the cooler months, while Suva’s rainfall by month is consistently higher.
When is the rainy season in Fiji?
The wet season runs from November to April, with the heaviest rain typically in January and February. Humidity is high and tropical downpours are common, especially inland and on the southeast coast around Suva.
What is the average temperature in Fiji in October?
October is a transition month between dry and wet seasons. Average daytime temperatures range from 27–29°C (80–84°F), with sea temperatures around 25°C. Rainfall starts to increase, particularly in Suva.
