The south-east trade-winds are the predominant weather feature affecting Kadavu for a lot of the year, bringing sea-breezes and showers between periods of fine, warm weather.
The wet season extends from December to April, with higher rainfall and temperatures averaging around 30ºc (86ºf). It is during this period tropical cyclones occasionally form.
The dry season, May to November, offers average temperatures of around 25c (77f), however hotter days may reach 30c (86f).
Kadavu's reef-protected waters provide great swimming and diving conditions, with sea temperatures averaging 25ºc (77ºf) to 28ºc (83ºf) year round.
Some Tamarillo expedition groups have encountered strong winds and heavy rain from time to time. This is all part of the reality of the South Pacific and outdoor life.
Our routes are planned so as to keep the prevailing winds at our backs as much as possible. Also, a bit of rain and overcast skies are normally very welcome after paddling under the Fiji sun a while.
