Climate Change Impacts: Fiji has experienced clear climate changes over recent decades, most notably temperature increases and increased severity of storms.[2] The number of cool nights has decreased and warm days have increased since 1942.[2] More severe extreme weather events have been observed for decades, including more severe cyclones, droughts, and periods of excessive rainfall.[2] Currently, weak La Niña conditions are persisting through early 2026, with above-average rainfall expected across the Fiji group during January-March 2026.[1] Both daytime and nighttime temperatures are expected to be above normal during this period, increasing heat stress risks.[1] Warmer than average temperatures below 50-100 metres in the equatorial Pacific indicate La Niña is nearing its end, with neutral conditions expected from early to late 2026.[3] These climate patterns compound existing vulnerabilities to flooding and weather-related disruptions.
