Fiji Heavy Rain Alert in Effect for Northern Division, Lau and Lomaiviti Groups

Weather Bulletin

Issued by the National Weather Forecasting Centre in Nadi at 5:30 AM on Tuesday, December 9, 2025

Attention, Northern Division folks, along with the residents of Lau and Lomaiviti! It’s officially a heavy rain party! Grab your umbrellas, rubber ducks, and maybe a canoe if you’re feeling adventurous, as a heavy rain alert is still in effect.

What’s happening? We’ve got a moody trough of low pressure hanging around, kind of like that one friend who overstays their welcome at a gathering. This trough has decided to take its sweet time moving east, keeping our eastern and northern areas drenched until some time Wednesday.

So, what’s the scoop for today across the Fiji group? Expect a rollercoaster of weather featuring occasional rain, occasional heavy downpours, and even a thunderstorm or two over Vanua Levu, Taveuni, and nearby islands, as well as Lau and Lomaiviti. Luckily, the rain will chill out to mere showers by tomorrow. A few eastern Viti Levu locations, such as Serua-Namosi and Navua-Suva-Nausori, might also experience some dramatic rainfall complete with theatrical thunder.

In other parts of Fiji, don’t pack away your raincoats just yet! Aside from some fine spells, expect those infamous afternoon or evening showers that sneak up on you when you least expect them and may bring occasional thunder along for the ride.

Winds will be moderate to fresh, making it somewhat breezy, and when you hit the waters, prepare for moderate to slightly rough seas.

Here’s the outlook for tomorrow: More showers on the horizon, along with a few thunderclaps to keep things exciting. Sounds like a great day to stay indoors, put on a cozy sweater, and binge-watch your favorite shows.

Now, let’s break down the forecast for today and tomorrow:

**For Navua/Suva/Nausori:** Expect some shower action with isolated heavy rainfall and thunderstorms. Today’s temperatures range from a cozy 22°C to a steamy 30°C. Tomorrow looks similar with a slight drop.

**For Natadradave/Korovou:** Some showers with heavy rainfall are gracing your area today (22°C to 30°C), and you’ll continue the trend tomorrow.
