The climate of the Yasawa Islands
The Yasawa Islands are an island group in the Western Division of Fiji in Ba Province. This archipelago consists of about twenty volcanic islands. The archipelago is named after the main island of Yasawa. The highest mountain of the archipelago rises about 600 meters above sea level. The archipelago has long been cut off from the outside world and it has only been allowed to visit the islands since the early 1980s. Since then, some resorts have settled here, which are especially popular with backpackers.
The Yasawa Islands have a tropical monsoon climate, with a lower average annual rainfall than most places and islands in Fiji. The summer period in particular is on the dry side for a tropical climate. During the rainy season, which lasts from November to April, the average humidity is on the high side. Tropical storms and hurricanes can occur in the first months of the year.
