December falls within Fiji’s wet season, characterized by high humidity, frequent rainfall, and warm temperatures. Daily averages typically range from the low 20s to the low 30s degrees Celsius (low 70s to high 80s Fahrenheit). Tropical cyclones, while less frequent than in January or February, remain a possibility.
Understanding Fiji’s climatic conditions during this period is crucial for travelers planning vacations. The wet season presents advantages such as lush landscapes and lower prices compared to the dry season. However, potential disruptions to outdoor activities due to rain should be considered. Historically, December has seen varying rainfall patterns; some years experience heavy downpours, while others witness more intermittent showers.
