Weather Update from the Forecasting Wizards at Nadi
Issued at 7:30 PM on Monday, January 12, 2026
Hold onto your umbrellas, folks! A HEAVY WARNING is in effect for the entire Fiji Group. So, if you’re planning a romantic stroll by the beach, you might want to bring flotation devices instead of walking shoes.
What’s brewing in the sky? A trough of low pressure is currently throwing a cloud party over the group, complete with showers and a few rambunctious thunderstorms.
As we forecast the coming hours, expect some periodic rain—heavy at times—wherever you are. If the rain gets too heavy, we may just have new swimming spots in our low-lying areas, courtesy of flash flooding.
Those moderate to fresh easterly winds are starting to feel a bit feisty. Tomorrow, they’ll be turning into a northerly breeze that could raise their game up to 45 km/hr with gusts hitting 55 km/hr. Hold onto your hats—literal and metaphorical!
And let’s not forget about the seas. They’ll be moderate to rough, so if you’re planning a dip, remember that the ocean isn’t exactly in a swimsuit mood.
Now, let’s talk specifics:
**For Navua / Suva / Nausori:** Expect occasional rain and a few friendly thunderstorms today. Tomorrow, a little more rain keeps the clouds happy. Tomorrow’s temperatures will range from a cozy 24°C to a tropical 29°C.
**For Natadradave/Korovou:** Heavy rain and thunderstorms will be your uninvited guests today. Tomorrow? Same story, but it comes with a complimentary 24-29°C temperature package.
**For Sigatoka/Coral Coast:** Rainy shenanigans are the main act today with a touch of thunder! Tomorrow’s forecast isn’t changing much with temperatures hanging out at 24-29°C.
**For Nadi / Lautoka / Ba:** Expect rain, but it’s just trying to impress with its pose as “heavy at times.” Tomorrow, we’re looking at 24°C to 30°C—perfect for puddle jumping!
**For Yasawa/Mamanuca Group:** Rain and thunderstorms will keep the energy alive today. Tomorrow brings the same rainfall party with winds blowing up to 55 km/hr. Dress accordingly!
**For Labasa:** Rain with some heavy moments today; your umbrellas will thank you later! Tomorrow, more of the same with highs reaching a balmy 30°C.
**For Taveuni:** Expect some winds with attitude (45 km/hr plus gusts) alongside rounds of rain and thunder. Wrap up those plans tomorrow at 24-29°C!
**For Lau and Lomaiviti Group:** Just like Taveuni, it’s a windy and wet day ahead! Make sure you’ve got that umbrella and hat ready!
**For Kadavu:** Rain and storms have made reservations for today! They will continue their stay tomorrow, with temperatures hanging between 24-29°C.
**For Rotuma:** It’s a wild cloud fiesta with heavy showers and thunder on the agenda. Expect temperatures to be around 25-30°C tomorrow.
