Weather Update
Issued by the National Weather Forecasting Centre in Nadi at 7:30pm on Monday, December 29, 2025
Hold onto your umbrellas, folks! We have a HEAVY RAIN ALERT in effect for our entire Fiji group, and it looks like Mother Nature is opening the floodgates! If you’re curious about all the juicy details, don’t forget to check out the Special Weather Bulletin on Heavy Rain at www.met.gov.fj/alerts/.
What’s brewing? An active trough of low pressure is on its way to Fiji from the west, packing clouds and rain. This wet surprise is expected to sweep through the islands starting Tuesday [30th Dec] and linger until Thursday [01st Jan]. In the meantime, we’re under the influence of some rather moist north to northeast winds, giving the whole place a lovely, soggy feel.
Forecast for You: Expect cloudy periods sprinkled with showers and the occasional thunderstorm, just to keep you on your toes. Most areas will experience heavy rain that may lead to flash flooding in low-lying regions. So, if you’re planning to wade through puddles tomorrow, it might just turn into a mini-adventure!
In case you’re curious about what the winds are up to, they’ll be blowing moderately to fresh from the north and northeast, with a little extra gustiness during those heavy downpours. And don’t forget about the sea; it’ll be moderately to rough, so if you thought today was the day for that paddleboard session, you might want to reconsider!
Looking ahead to Wednesday, we’re in for intermittent downpours with occasional heavy rain and a few thunderous surprises. Just a heads up: persistent heavy showers could lead to flash floods in prone areas, so keep your life jackets handy!
Here’s the lowdown for various spots around Fiji:
For Navua / Suva / Nausori: Prepare for a cloudy day with frequent showers and isolated thunderstorms. Tomorrow’s temperature ranges from a mild 24 to a toasty 30. Roll with it on Wednesday with the same temperature range and occasional rain.
For Natadradave/Korovou: It’s cloudy with some rain action and thunder as well. A cozy 24 to 30 awaits you tomorrow; did someone say rain dance for Wednesday?

For Rotuma: Expect some moisture with north to northwest winds. It’s a warm 25 to 32, but don’t forget your rain gear!
