Suva in February
Not the best time
February keeps the wet misery going with fewer tourists around to share it with. Hotels drop prices but you'll spend more time dodging puddles than exploring.
Weather
Still deep in cyclone season with frequent heavy showers and potential storm systems. Humidity hovers around 85% making it feel hotter than it actually is. Most rain falls in late afternoon thunderstorms.

All Months
May through October is Suva's dry season, though 'dry' is relative – this city gets 120 inches of rain yearly. July and August are coolest with temperatures around 23°C, perfect for walking the hilly streets. But here's the thing: November through April brings heavy rain and cyclone season. Streets flood, ferries cancel, and humidity becomes oppressive. The upside? Hotel rates drop 30-40% and you'll have attractions to yourself. Diwali in October or November lights up the Indo-Fijian community with incredible food festivals. Hibiscus Festival in August brings parades and traditional dancing to Albert Park. Rugby season runs March through September – catch a match at HFC Bank Stadium where tickets cost F$10.
