Seasons & Weather in Fiji - Best Time to Visit Fiji

Fiji is considered one of the most exotic holiday spots in the world, in the last few years this country settled in South Pacific Ocean gaining a very good reputation due to the many luxury beach resorts dotted with high end hotels that offer extraordinary relaxing vacation packages. Travelers find in Fiji a water sports paradise, some of the most exciting and rewarding activities including snorkeling and scuba diving (the warm tropical waters host a huge number of marine species living on coral reefs), sailing, yachting, windsurfing, surfing (there are located some of the best breaks on Earth), swimming and others. The the major factors which draw a large number of visitors to this terrestrial eden stretched over 332 islands belong the tropical weather and the low variations of temperetaures between seasons.

Situated in the southern part of Pacific Ocean at about 2,000 kilometers (1,243 miles) northeast of New Zealand, Fiji benefit on a warm weather without extremely high temperatures that characterizes the countries located on the continental part of Tropics. The much pleasant temperetaures are generated by the marine influences coming from the ocean and by the trade winds which blow generally from southeast. The seasons in Fiji are splited in two: a dry season (equivalent with winter) from May to November and a wet season (assimilated to summer) from December to April. The average temperature is about 22 degrees Celsius (72 degrees Fahrenheit) in the colder months, while in the warmer period of time it is 31 degrees Celsius (88 degrees Fahrenheit). The rainfall is more abundant in the wet season, the larger islands of Viti Levu and Vanua Levu (where is settled the capital city of Suva) generating more clouds and precipitation.

But when is the best time visiting Fiji Islands? Generally is considered that the high season is in winter, from May to November because the quantity of rain is lower and the temperatures are more pleasant. In this interval the trade winds blow stronger and have a cooling effect over the entire archipelago. The summertime (December to April) is considered the low tourist season due to the more frequent rainfalls and because then is also the cyclone season characterized sometimes by strong winds. However, usually a cyclone occurs once per year and rarely hits the larger islands, crossing commonly the isolated parts of the country where lye uninhabited islets. Savvy holiday makers know that during summer isn't any real danger because of tropical storms and therefore they going on vacation to Fiji exactly in this season due to the fact that travel packages are much more affordable and most resorts and hotels have on sale very attractive offers including special promotions, hot accommodation deals and discounted room rates.

Fiji represents for years a top travel destination for Australian tourists who want to spend holidays on some of the most beautiful beaches on the planet! The wonderful natural scenery and lush tropical environment is completed by excellent accommodations provided by luxury resort complexes that occupy generally an islet or are located at distance to other hotels, so that in this country tourists have chance to relax in lush gardens with colorful flowers dotted with pools or well maintained white-sand coves where the word "crowd" is unknown! This makes a huge difference between Fiji Islands and other top vacation spots such as Caribbean area, where usually in the peak season all resorts teeming by foreign travelers and finding a free place on the beach is difficult. A another very attracting feature in this part of Pacific is the pleasant warm tropical weather which, along with the almost imperceptible variation between seasons, creates a superb environment (compared often with paradise!) for beach vacations in Fiji.
