Weather News Flash!
Issued from the Crystal Ball of the National Weather Forecasting Centre Nadi at 7:17 AM on the infamous Friday the 13th of February 2026.
Batten down the hatches, folks! A HEAVY RAIN ALERT is still making itself at home across the ENTIRE FIJI GROUP. If you were hoping for a break in the soggy shenanigans, well, keep dreaming! For additional splashes of information, check out the Special Weather Bulletin on Heavy Rain on our official website.
Current Situation: A pesky trough of low pressure is throwing clouds, showers, and a generous helping of rain all over Fiji, and it looks like it won’t be packing its bags until tomorrow. So, grab your favorite umbrella (or one of those giant novelty ones) and brace yourselves!
Forecast till midnight tonight for Fiji:
Expect occasional rain, heavy at times, and maybe even a few dramatic thunderstorms casting their theatrical performances over the Northern Division, Yasawa and Mamanuca groups, western and northern parts of Viti Levu (yes, we’re talking about Korolevu-Sigatoka, Nadi-Ba-Tavua, and Ra-Rakiraki), Kadavu, and nearby islands. Elsewhere, rain with the occasional heavy downpour and thunderstorm is likely to crash your weekend plans. Persistent downpours could lead to flashy flash flooding in low-lying, flood-prone areas, so watch your step!
Winds will be moderate to fresh from the north, occasionally gusty when the thunder decides to party. Sea conditions? Moderate to rough, because why should the land have all the fun?
Outlook for Saturday: A slightly calmer day is on the horizon with brief showers in the northern parts of Viti Levu (Ba-Tavua-Ra-Rakiraki regions), Northern Bua, Macuata, Lau, and Lomaiviti groups. The sun might peek out here and there, but don’t be surprised if the rain decides to return for an encore in the afternoon or evening.
