About Fiji

Fiji is an archipelago of more than three hundred volcanic and coral islands in the South Pacific, centred on Viti Levu and Vanua Levu. The Mamanuca and Yasawa groups draw beach and dive travellers, the Coral Coast and Suva show a more local side of island life, and outer islands stay quiet. The drier months from May to October are the most comfortable, while the wet season brings heat, humidity and cyclone risk.

Every city is rated 0-10 per month using ERA5 climate normals - temperature, precipitation, humidity, daylight, and days with 6+ hours of sunshine.

Climate data: Open-Meteo ERA5 historical archive, the five most recent complete years (2021–2025). Scores are monthly averages for that window, not forecasts, and short-window precipitation can differ from longer-term normals. “Sunny days” count days with at least 6 hours of measured sunshine — they are not dry days.
