Weather in Nadi in November

Shoulder season. November is shoulder season in Nadi — cheaper, quieter, and a genuine gamble. You should expect rain on 18 days of the month, which is more days wet than dry.

November ranks 7 of 12 in Nadi: past the worst of the year but short of July, which is the month to book if the dates are open.

Rain on 18 days, 5 of them heavy. Enough to need a plan B, not enough to need a plan around it. Pack for 28.9 °C days and 24.6 °C nights; the spread matters more here than any single number.

What the averages hide

Averages flatten a month, and this one hides a few things: 6 days top 30 °C — hot spells arrive, but they break; the day barely swings — 4.3 °C between the overnight low and the afternoon high. Across the twenty years measured, the hottest November day reached 32.1 °C and the coldest night fell to 21.4 °C, and the wettest single day dropped 71 mm — roughly 45% of the month's rain in one day.

November is moderately variable: 27 mm in the driest year against 374 mm in the wettest, around an average of 158 mm. Roughly two Novembers in three land near that average, and the third does something else entirely.

Wind sits around 16.2 km/h — a steady breeze rather than a nuisance, and welcome on the warmer days, and humidity runs at 78%, high enough to notice on the warm days without dominating them.

How November sits in the year

Temperatures hold steady either side: 28.3 °C in October, 28.9 here, 29.5 in December. Nothing about the timing within the month matters much.

Daylight in November

November is at or near the longest days of Nadi's year: 12.9 hours of daylight, gaining 0.4 hours across the month. Evenings are the real gain — dinner outdoors still happens in full light.

Sea temperature

The sea sits at about 27.1 °C in November — warm enough that the water offers no relief from the heat. The sea peaks at 29.1 °C in February and bottoms out at 25.9 °C — water lags the air by a month or two, which is why the best swimming often comes after the best weather.

How busy it gets

Off season. The genuine off season: cheapest by a distance, with the caveat that some tours and restaurants close entirely.

Crowd levels are estimated from climate desirability and school-holiday calendars, not from visitor numbers.

November in Nadi versus nearby

If Nadi is one option among several, the nearby comparison is worth making. Labasa is close enough to be a coin toss — within a degree on temperature, the same number of rain days. Port-Vila is a better bet in November — 2.2 °C cooler, 1 day less rain.

So: November is a compromise. July is 24 points better and is what Nadi is actually like at its best — worth moving the trip for if that is possible, and worth adjusting expectations for if it is not.
