Fiji has a tropical climate with warm temperatures year-round, ranging from 77–88°F (25–31°C). The wet season runs from November to April with higher rainfall and occasional cyclones, while the dry season from May to October offers cooler temperatures and less precipitation. Regional variation exists, with windward islands receiving more rain than leeward areas.
Plug type(s) used in Fiji:
Tipping is welcome but not obligatory. Round up or leave a small amount.
Cash is widely used. Card acceptance is growing but not universal — carry both.
Petty theft and bag snatching can occur in urban areas and tourist spots, so keep valuables secure and avoid displaying expensive items. Exercise normal precautions when traveling at night and use registered taxis or ride-sharing apps rather than hailing cabs on the street. Respect local customs and be aware that some areas may have restricted access; ask locals or your institution for current safety guidance.
