5 Tips for Visiting Fiji in June

1. Early and mid-June is considered the tourist shoulder season, so look out for good deals on flights and accommodation. However, expect things to get busier (and more expensive) toward the end of June.
2. Be sure to apply high-factor sunscreen regularly due to the high UV levels during June.
3. The nights feel considerably cooler than the day, so pack some slightly warmer layers for the evenings.
4. While June is during the “dry season,” it could still rain at any time.
5. June is considered a safe time to visit Fiji, which has little risk of cyclones.

Typical Temperatures in June

Winter is here in Fiji! However, it doesn’t feel like your typical winter, with the maximum average temperatures reaching 27°C / 81°F and the minimum average temperatures being 20°C / 68°F usually at night. In our experience, the only chill you’ll feel is the gentle breeze from the Pacific Ocean.

Expect it to feel a little warmer in the northern islands of Vanua Levu and Taveuni, where the humidity is moderate, compared to the islands of Viti Levu, Mamanucas and Yasawas, where humidity is low.

Rainfall in June

June is one of the driest months to visit Fiji, and there is very little chance of rainfall in Fiji’s drier climates, such as the smaller outer islands of the Yasawa Islands. Regardless, there will be odd rainy spells, which was certainly the case when we last visited in June.

Expect an average of 113 mm / 4.4 in of rainfall in June and usually 18 days experiencing some sort of rain throughout the month.
