I often hear people (including travel agents) say "don't go to Fiji in December - it's cyclone season!" But if you're considering Fiji for this year's Christmas/School Holiday break, just go for it.
Yes, it does rain sometimes. As it does pretty much everywhere else in the world. Fiji is in the tropics should be expected to be higher than here in Mediterranean climes. The bottom line is, it's always warm and if it rains, it's usually in the afternoon. I'm yet to experience a day of torrential downpours; they certainly happen, but they're rarer than people think.
I got married on 7th December in Fiji, on a day where there was some scattered rain and I had to be driven through the garden to the chapel on a golf cart, but it was beautiful. They say it's good luck to have raindrops on your wedding dress - so yay for me!
The thing is, in my job I see so many people hesitate to take a holiday, whether it's the trip of a lifetime or a short getaway, because of weather concerns. In the end, if they don't go they miss out on all the amazing experiences they would have had by travelling to a new place. We can never control the weather and these days it's getting harder and harder to predict, so rather than stressing about something we can't control, just go! It'll be worth it.
And if you're heading somewhere tropical like the beautiful fijian islands, remember this: if it's raining, you can still go for a swim. You're going to get wet either way!
These photos were taken by Kama Catch Me, our incredible wedding photographers. I thought I'd add them here to show you how beautiful an overcast day is in Fiji.
