Field notes

Fiji's capital and the country's only real urban center — much wetter and more humid than the resort-side dry zone (Nadi/Denarau). Fiji launched a digital-nomad visa in 2022, ~6-month base. Most nomads still gravitate to Nadi or the islands; pick Suva if you want infrastructure (USP, hospitals, embassies) over beach access. Cyclone season (November–April) is the recurring risk window.

Among the wettest climates on this list — Suva sits on the windward side of Viti Levu, with rain on most days year-round (5–13 mm/day). Temperature is stable (23–27°C). Cyclone season (November–April) is the structural risk window. The dry-side resort cities (Nadi/Denarau) are dramatically drier and are where most nomads end up.
