La Nina in the South Pacific

Country forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea

Hi,

I'm looking at going to New Caledonia or Fiji for a couple of weeks in Feb-Mar this year and I was hoping someone would be able to give me some advice about the weather.

Specifically, I was wondering if these countries are experiencing the same higher-than-normal rainfall that the east coast of Australia is getting because of the La Nina weather pattern.

I'm hoping to do a lot of snorkelling & diving so the least rainy location would be best.

Thanks in advance!
