Fiji in July

Australian and NZ school holidays fill family resorts; Bula Festival in Nadi. Book ahead.

• Dry west · Nadi, Denarau, Mamanuca and Yasawa islandsbest weather

  The rain shadow of Viti Levu's mountains: sunniest part of the country. Dec–Mar is humid with heavy showers and cyclone risk; winter nights near 18 °C.

• Wet south-east · Suva, Pacific Harbour, Kadavubest weather

  Trade winds bring rain all year; Suva gets about twice Nadi's rainfall. Drier Jul–Sep.

• Coral Coast · Sigatoka to Pacific Harbour on the Queens Roadbest weather

  Between the two: sunnier than Suva, windier than the Mamanucas.

• North · Vanua Levu (Savusavu, Labasa), Taveunibest weather

  Taveuni's east coast is among the wettest places in Fiji; diving visibility is best in the drier months.
