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.
