Weather Alert
Issued from the National Weather Forecasting Centre Nadi at 3:30 PM on Monday, November 24, 2025
Grab your umbrellas and hold onto your hats, folks! A STRONG WIND WARNING is still blowing through Macuata, Northern Bua, Cikobia, Taveuni, the Lau and Lomaiviti groups, and their smaller neighbors. If you thought your blow-dry was impressive, wait until you see the winds trying to style your hair today!
But that’s not all – we’re also under a HEAVY RAIN WARNING for the entire Fiji Group. Yes, that’s right! A deluge of raindrops is on the way, so if you see ducks stocking up on supplies, it’s probably a good idea to join them.
What’s the scoop? An active trough of low pressure has decided to pay us a visit, bringing along showers and rain as unwelcome guests for the next few days. Expect strong northwesterly winds that could flirt with speeds of 45 km/hr and gusts that might knock over a small dog: 55 km/hr. Just be careful not to get blown over while trying to catch your bus!
Here’s the forecast:
– For tonight and into tomorrow, brace for some surprises as those winds will ease from fierce to moderately fresh come tomorrow.
– Don’t forget about the rain – occasional heavy spells, possible thunderstorms, and a side of flash flooding in low-lying areas. It’s like nature’s way of reminding us to stay off the road!
– Good news! Rain is expected to chill out a bit over the Western Division from later today.
Wednesday’s Outlook:
– Expect occasional showers and isolated thunderstorms rolling through. Let’s just say Mother Nature seems to be feeling dramatic lately.
– So grab that raincoat or maybe a life jacket if the dark clouds keep looking so ominous!
