Climate overview
Temperature
Monthly mean temperatures range from a high of 26.5 °C in February to a low of 22.9 °C in August. These figures describe average conditions across each month, not daytime maximum temperatures, so they should not be read as a daily forecast. The unweighted mean of the monthly means is 24.8 °C; it summarizes the annual pattern without accounting for the different numbers of days in each month.
Rain
Mean daily rainfall is highest in February, at 11.08 mm/day, and lowest in July, at 3.69 mm/day. The figures are daily averages for those months, not monthly rainfall totals, and they do not show how often rain falls or guarantee dry weather in the lower-rainfall month. Across the calendar-month means, the unweighted average is 6.88 mm/day.
Sunshine
Average daily sunshine reaches its highest level in January, at 9.87 hours/day, and its lowest in August, at 7.86 hours/day. These monthly averages can help with broad outdoor planning, but sunshine duration is not the same as daylight length and does not guarantee clear conditions on a particular day. The unweighted mean across monthly sunshine averages is 8.78 hours/day.
Best Travel Time Guide for Suva, Fiji: Ideal Seasons and Weather Insights
For visitors prioritising lower average rainfall, July is a conditional option: mean daily rainfall is 3.69 mm/day. That average does not guarantee rain-free days or indicate how frequently showers occur, so flexible plans and rain protection remain sensible. If planning around the higher-rainfall average, note that February has mean daily rainfall of 11.08 mm/day. Those who prefer cooler monthly averages could consider August, when the monthly mean temperature is 22.9 °C; this is not a daytime maximum and cannot specify the conditions on an individual day. For outdoor sightseeing that prioritises average sunshine, January records 9.87 hours/day of mean daily sunshine, while August records 7.86 hours/day. Sunshine duration is not day length, and these separate criteria do not establish one universally best time to visit.
