Weather Whirl: Saturday, September 20, 2025
Greetings from the windswept shores! Our trusty meteorologists at the National Weather Forecasting Centre in Nadi bring you the latest weather shenanigans this lovely Saturday morning.
Let’s start with the headline act: a strong wind warning that means business for those coastal land areas such as Ra-Rakiraki, Southern Bua, Eastern Macuata, and quite the crowd of small islands – think Yasawa, Lau, Lomaiviti, Taveuni, Kadavu, and more. Fan yourself, because the wind speeds are up to 45km/hr, the star of this weekend’s forecast!
Rolling through to midnight tonight, if you’re in these windy hotspots, you better hold onto your hats, or even better – just let them go and join the flight crew of coastal caps heading toward the horizon. Elsewhere, it’s a bit of a breeze – moderate to fresh southeast winds that know just how to keep things interesting (and umbrellas inside-out).
Feeling a bit seasick without even stepping foot on a boat? Those rough seas are churning like a reality TV drama. Meanwhile, if you’re lucky enough to be in places like Serua, Namosi, Navua, Suva, Nausori, and a medley of other provinces, expect brief showers to pop by, bringing with them a refreshing twist before the night folds itself into a nice, cool blanket.
Tomorrow’s forecast also promises gusty gossip with those southeast winds sticking around. Do brace yourself for a possible encore of isolated hefty showers over many islands, while others enjoy a fine weather act. It’s the kind of weekend weather that keeps you guessing – and entertained.
Now, let’s take a quick squiz at specific locales:
– Navua/Suva/Nausori: A bit like that friend who always stops by unannounced, brief showers will appear but do bring a cool night (Min: 19, Max: 28). Tomorrow, they’re back with a splashier encore.
– Nadi/Lautoka/Ba: Mainly fine and reliably cool at night, like your favorite cozy sweater (Min: 17, Max: 30). Sunday shakes it up with a sprinkle of possible evening showers.
– Sigatoka/Coral Coast: Dust off your beach chair – it’s all good and fine with a cool hint in the evening air (Min: 17, Max: 30). Sunday might see a sudden shower but won’t overstay its welcome.
– Tavua/Rakiraki: The wind is here to sweep you off your feet – literally (Min: 19, Max: 30). Tomorrow, same gusty tale with a chance of some cheeky showers.
– Yasawa/Mamanuca: Hang onto your sun hats – the winds are determined to have some fun (Min: 20, Max: 30). Sunday’s storyline: gusts and maybe a passing shower cameo.
– Labasa: If you prefer your weather straightforward and scandal-free, it’s mainly fine and cool at night (Min: 18, Max: 31).
– Savusavu: Those clouds love a brief visit, showering affection before leaving things cool (Min: 20, Max: 28).
– Nabouwalu and Taveuni: Strong winds persist, and clouds consider this their stage with cool night-time performances (Min: 19 or 20, Max: 28). Expect a Sunday show with potential heavy falls.
– Lau, Lomaiviti, and Kadavu groups: It’s a weekend of daring winds and brief showers with cool undertones (Min: 19, Max: 28). Prepare for some possible hefty Sunday sprinkles.
– Rotuma: It’s the weekend to channel your inner seafarer with strong winds at sea. Thankfully, the land forecasts mostly fine vibes (Min: 24, Max: 30). Sunday should calm down over the land.
Stay sensible out there, whether you’re braving the winds, savoring the sunshine, or dodging those showers. Enjoy the humor of weather on this rollercoaster of a weekend!
