Attention everyone, it’s time to decipher your weekly weather puzzle from our ever-reliable National Weather Forecasting Centre in Nadi, delivered fresh at 5:30 AM on Tuesday, January 13, 2026. Buckle up, as it appears Fiji is gearing up for a wild weather day!
First up, we have a delightful HEAVY WARNING for the entire Fiji Group, which means you might want to think twice before attempting to make an outdoor picnic this week. And let’s not forget the FLASH FLOOD WARNING—Mother Nature is clearly in a showering mood!
We also have a STRONG WIND ALERT swirling around the Yasawa, Mamanuca, Taveuni, and those smaller islands who just want to be included in the forecast fun—oh, and don’t think Lau and Lomaiviti can escape either!
The good news? It’s all thanks to an active trough of low pressure that’s throwing a party with clouds, rain, and the occasional thunderstorm. So, if you’re in a place with a roof, now is the time to enjoy the sound of rain!
Now, let’s look at what’s brewing before the clock strikes midnight tonight. Expect occasional rain – heavy at times, with a few thunderstorms aggressively tapping at your windows. Fasten those umbrellas, as persistent heavy falls might turn those charming low-lying areas into an aquatic playground!
Winds will be moderate to fresh out of the east, and by later today, they’ll make a dramatic shift to the north. Think of it as a gossiping breeze swapping stories about the weather between buddies. Seas will be moderate to rough, so consider this your chance to bond with your inner sailor, just not too far from shore!
Tomorrow’s forecast promises more northerly winds gusting up to 45 km/hr – so if you see someone flying a kite, you might want to warn them about the unexpected lift-off potential. Thunderstorms and rain are sticking around, making sure tomorrow is just as exciting as today!
