Fiji has a tropical marine climate and has warm weather all year round. The hot and humid rainy season is usually from November to April, with temperatures averaging between 77°F (25°C) and 86°F (30°C). The dry season, from May to October, is less humid and sees average temperatures drop a few degrees lower.

Fiji is prone to cyclones, particularly between November and March. Though they don’t occur annually, this unnerving weather phenomenon will likely be experienced by expats at some stage. Tropical depressions, which can turn into cyclones, are carefully monitored during cyclone season, and regular public updates are issued. The best way to keep safe is to stay informed and heed government safety advice.
