Fiji does experience a wet weather season from November to April, however these brief, heavy showers are localised. These bursts account for most of Fiji's annual rainfall which ranges from 2000mm to 3000mm on the main islands and 6000mm in the mountains. If you're hoping to escape the rain, seek out the smaller islands which typically receive less rainfall.
As a tropical island, the wet season is a vital part of Fiji's climate and is responsible for the lush environment and plant life that is so plentiful here.
Cyclones do occur in Fiji but are normally confined to the wet weather season.
Much of Fiji is characterised by wet and dry zones, something that is localised as the landscape shifts from lush jungle mountains and into grassy, weathered peaks.
Between May and October, divers will find the coral reef waters at their most visible - though popular water activities are undertaken all through the year thanks to the pleasant water temperatures.
