THE WEATHER

Kadavu has a typical tropical climate with the winter months being May to September and the summer being October to April.

Summertime is usually characterised by calm settled weather with blue skies during the early part of the day, cloud bubbling up over the island in the afternoon and the occasional evening shower. The air temperature generally reaches a peak of about 32 degrees in February / March with the water temperature reaching 30.

In winter time, Fiji experiences the SE trade winds. These trades vary in strength from a light breeze to a 20kt blow and usually last about 5 days. A strong trade wind can limit the small game boat to fishing inside the barrier reef however the big game boat simply fishes the sheltered side of the island. The air temperature generally reaches a low of about 20 degrees in August / September with the water temperature about 25 degrees.
