Weather Update
Well folks, it looks like the weather is in quite the frisky mood today! Issued bright and early at 7:26 AM on Wednesday, November 26, 2025, the National Weather Forecasting Centre brings us news that the winds are blowing strong enough to make your hair look like you’ve just walked out of a tornado.
A STRONG WIND WARNING is blowing through for the land areas of Macuata, Northern Bua, Cikobia, Taveuni, Lau, and Lomaiviti groups. If you’re in these areas, it’s probably best to hold onto your hats—or, you know, whatever else you can find.
Let’s not forget about the HEAVY RAIN WARNING. Yes, it seems like the sky has a personal vendetta against us in the Northern and Eastern parts of Fiji. So if you planned on being a dry person today, it may be time to reconsider your life choices.
The situation isn’t exactly a walk in the park, as an active trough of low pressure has decided to make itself comfortable over Fiji, spreading cloud, showers, and rain like confetti at a party—only, you probably didn’t want this kind of celebration.
Forecasting our day, we can expect fresh to strong northwesterly winds zipping through at speeds of up to 45 km/h across several land areas. Hold onto your umbrellas—as if they didn’t just have their moments of glory last week! The winds will eventually ease slightly, but don’t count on it becoming a gentle breeze just yet.
Rain? Oh, you bet! We’re looking at periods of heavy rain and a dash of thunderstorms throughout the Northern Division and nearby islands (so sorry for those planning a beach day). Localized heavy downpours might even lead to a flash flooding situation in low-lying areas. Remember, it’s not a water park, folks!
Now, what’s the scoop for tomorrow, you ask? Expect a gradual easing of rain to showers. What can I say? It’s like the weather got tired and decided to chill out a bit—how considerate of it!
Let’s break it down region by region for your convenience (and entertainment):
– For Navua/Suva/Nausori: Occasional rain and isolated thunderstorms with heavy falls. Min 24, Max 27. Tomorrow’s forecast looks like it might just be a shower party instead.
– For Sigatoka/Coral Coast: Same story here, rain, thunder, and a cosy forecast (Min 24, Max 29). Hope you like water!
– For Nadi/Lautoka/Ba: Rain and thunderstorms want to hang out with you today (Min 24, Max 30). Tomorrow, they might mellow down to just a few showers.
– For Tavua/Rakiraki: Heavy rain is your uninvited guest (Min 24, Max 30). But hey, tomorrow, it might just slip into the shower instead.
– For the Yasawa/Mamanuca group: Rain, lots of it, but you can feel the vibes of tomorrow easing up (Min 24, Max 29).
– For Labasa: Strong winds are having a little too much fun, but don’t worry—soon they’ll calm down. Rain and a thunderstorm or two with Min 23, Max 29.
– For Taveuni and layers: The winds are jiving strong like it’s disco night, with heavy rain popping in and out (Min 24, Max 26). Tomorrow? A slight hint of showers.
– To wrap it all up, for Rotuma: Strong winds and heavy rains are set to continue, keeping you on your toes. Hold tight! Min 25, Max 28. Tomorrow, the rain might just become a tad more polite.
So there you have it! Don’t forget your umbrellas, stay safe, and maybe take this as an opportunity to get cozy with a good book… unless the rain’s too loud—then you may just want to make a run for it!
