Fiji Weather Alert: Heavy Rain and Flash Flood Risk for Yasawa, Eastern Viti Levu, Northern Division, Lau, Lomaiviti and Kadavu

Weather Dispatch – Sunday, November 16, 2025

Hey there, Fiji! Grab your umbrellas and maybe a kayak, because we’re under a HEAVY RAIN ALERT – and not the kind that just sprinkles! It’s going to be a soggy Sunday across several spots, including Yasawa and the eastern half of Viti Levu, plus a sprinkle of dramatic skies over the Northern Division, Lau, Lomaiviti, and Kadavu.

What’s going on? Well, we’ve got a stubborn trough of low pressure hanging around, probably like that relative who shows up uninvited and won’t leave. Expect clouds, showers, and rain to keep you company until Monday.

Here’s the scoop for today: Think of it as a “wet and wild” adventure, with occasional heavy rain and a few thunderstorms rolling in for added drama! So, if you’re in Yasawa or the eastern half of Viti Levu, pack those water wings because the rainfall might lead to some flash flooding in low-lying areas.

The rest of the report includes a slight chance of sunshine attempting to peek through before the clouds remember they’re supposed to be the stars of the show. Moderate to fresh east to southeast winds will keep things breezy, and don’t expect to make a big splash on the beach – seas are moderate to rough!

Looking to Monday, expect a similar heavy-spirited déjà vu with rain showers and a smattering of thunderstorms. The silver lining? The rain should ease a bit later in the day – at least enough to see if your backyard still exists!

Here’s what to expect across the regions:
– **Navua / Suva / Nausori**: Rain on the menu, heavy at times – sounds like the perfect excuse to stay in your PJs and binge-watch your favorite series. Temps: Min 23, Max 28.
– **Sigatoka/Coral Coast**: You’ll mostly be fine, unless the heavens deliver some surprise afternoon showers. Maxing out at a sunny 30 after the rains, if you’re lucky.
– **Nadi / Lautoka / Ba**: Expect some theatrics with afternoon thunderstorms and heavy rainfall. Pack an umbrella if you plan to venture out. High: 31.
– **Yasawa/Mamanuca**: Heavy rain promises a dramatic ambiance. Best enjoy the downpour inside with hot cocoa! Min: 23, Max: 30.
– **Kadavu**: Oh, and it’s going to rain here too, but that’s nothing new in paradise. Min: 23, Max: 28.

While Rotuma enjoys a decent southeasterly breeze, it too is expecting the rain to crash the party tomorrow. So, keep those raincoats handy if you’re planning any outdoor escapades!

That’s your weather dose for today! Stay dry, or at least make a splash without a frown. Until next time, Fiji!
