Weather Bulletin
Issued from the National Weather Forecasting Centre Nadi at 10:45 am on Monday the 12th of January 2026
Hold onto your umbrellas, folks! A HEAVY RAIN ALERT is officially in play for the entire Fiji Group. That’s right, it’s time to dust off those raincoats and embrace your inner duck!
What’s happening? Well, a rather moody trough of low pressure is making itself comfy over us, bringing plenty of clouds, showers, and some rain that might make you rethink plans for a sunny beach day.
The forecast up until midnight tomorrow? Expect sporadic rain, which could get quite frothy at times, with a few electric thunderstorms to spice things up. So, if you see a flash of light, no, it’s not that your phone is about to die—it’s just Mother Nature showing off.
We might see persistent downpours leading to flash flooding in low-lying areas; so, don’t go floating away unless you’ve got a life raft handy! Winds are blowing in from the east with a moderate to fresh swell. Tomorrow, those breezes will switch to the north, probably waving goodbye to the last of the dry weather.
Looking ahead to Wednesday, hold onto your hats—literally! Northerly winds could whip up to 45 km/h, with gusts that might have you reconsidering that kite-flying adventure. Seas are going to be moderately rough, perfect for the thrill-seekers!
Let’s break it down area by area, shall we?
In Navua, Suva, and Nausori: Prepare for a rain dance! Expect gradual drizzles today with a max temp of 30. Tomorrow? We’ll sit at a cozy 24-29 range, with more rain on the horizon.
Natadradave/Korovou: Same story as above, but don’t fret; you’re not alone in this rain parade! Max temp today? 30, with tomorrow holding steady at 24-29.
