Weather Update!
Brought to you by the National Weather Forecasting Centre in Nadi and issued at the crack of dawn on Friday, December 12, 2025!
Hold onto your umbrellas, folks, because a HEAVY RAIN ALERT is in full effect for every nook and cranny of the beautiful Fiji Group. If you thought yesterday was wet, just wait until today!
What’s happening? Well, there’s a sluggish trough of low pressure hanging around like a lazy cat on a windowsill, and it’s bringing along plenty of cloud cover and rain—talk about an uninvitied guest!
Forecasters predict that for the rest of the day, we can expect occasional rain, with some heavy downpours and a few rumbles of thunder to keep things interesting over the Northern Division, Western and Northern Viti Levu region (yep, that’s you, Momi, Nadi, Ba, and Ra!). Other areas won’t be left out, as they’ll also be graced with the occasional rain and isolated thunderstorms. So, make sure your outdoor plans include some waterproofing options!
Seriously, persistent heavy rainfall might transform low-lying areas into new swimming spots, so stay on the lookout for flash flooding. As for the wind, it will be a moderate east to northerly breeze, freshening up at times. And our seas? Well, they’re keeping it real—moderate to rough.
Now, looking ahead to Saturday: guess what? More of the same—occasional rain and thunderstorms might become your weekend soundtrack!
