• Several stations in national climate monitoring network
– Manual synoptic stations – 16 stations – Climate stations – 9am – 18 stations – Rainfall stations – 9am – 34 stations – AWS – 10 min – 26 stations – TB3 Rain gauge – 5 min – 11 stations – AWOS – 1 minute – 2 stations
• Rainfall data available from late 1800’s
• Temperature available from early 1900’s
• Data issues: reliability, accuracy, consistency,
standardized practices of collection, introduction of biases, systematic and random errors

Climate Services • Monitor national & regional climate including climate extremes, variability and change
• Drought monitoring and advice to the National Prevention and Mitigation Committee
• Seasonal climate outlook (rainfall & temperature predictions) for coming 3 to 6
months (for Nation and individual sectors e.g. for Monasavu (FEA), sugar sector (FSC))
• TC Outlook for the RSMC Nadi TCC AoR
• Long term climate projections: rely on IPCC and international partners for downscaling (Australian Government funded PCCSP and PACSSAP)
• Respond to user inquiries
• Needs: • Maintenance of National Climate Monitoring Network • Continuation of climate change science program • Capacity building in research and development • Support implementation of GFCS at National Scale, for example, National Climate Outlook
