Weather Update
Good morning, rain lovers and umbrella aficionados! It’s Monday, January 12, 2026, and the heavens have decided to give us a little shower party, courtesy of a low pressure trough that seems to be taking its sweet time over Fiji. So grab your raincoats and let’s dive into the forecast!
A HEAVY RAIN ALERT has been sounded for the entire Fiji group. Yes, you read that right. It’s going to be more like a water park than a sunny holiday for the next few days, folks.
For today, anticipate occasional rain that might just exceed “occasional” and flirt with “torrential,” complete with the occasional rumble of thunder to set a mood that says, “Stay inside with a good book, perhaps?” Look out for some moderate winds from the southeast to northeast – refreshing, but not too welcoming for an outdoor picnic. Seas will be moderate to rough, so sailors might want to think twice about today’s adventures.
Now, let’s cast our eyes to tomorrow’s forecast: more of the same! Expect a repeat performance of occasional rain, heavy at times, hitting the hotspots like Navua, Suva, Naitasiri, and surrounding islands. Isolated thunderstorms will be on the menu, so if you hear thunder, you might want to count how far away it sounds, just for fun!
Here’s a cheeky glance at some specific locations:
– **Navua / Suva / Nausori**: Occasional downpours and a side of thunder. Min: 24, Max: 30. Not too shabby unless you’re trying to keep your hair dry.
– **Natadradave/Korovou**: Same story! Heavy rain in the forecast. Min: 24, Max: 30. Who knew being damp could be so consistent?
– **Sigatoka/Coral Coast**: Spot the rain, find the thunder! Min: 23, Max: 30. Don’t forget your surfboards; they might take off in the rain!
– **Nadi / Lautoka / Ba**: Rainy vibes abound. Min: 23, Max: 30. It’s a weather theme park, minus the entry fee.
– **Kadavu**, *Yasawa/Mamanuca, and upwards to Labasa**: Bring on the rain and the occasional thunder! You just might need a boat instead of a car in some spots!
– **Rotuma**: Lots of clouds with chances of thunderstorms. Your best bet here is to metaphorically batten down the hatches! Min: 25, Max: 31.
So, as you venture out today, keep those umbrellas at the ready and perhaps consider investing in some stylish galoshes. It’s going to be wet, wild, and wonderfully watery across Fiji. Stay safe and dry out there!
