Weather Update
Good morning, weather adventurers! At 5:30 AM, we’ve summoned the forces of meteorology at the National Weather Forecasting Centre in Nadi to bring you the latest on our fascinating forecast for today, November 17, 2025.
First up, let’s raise our umbrellas in a nonchalant wave, as the heavy rain warning that loomed over Yasawa and the eastern half of Viti Levu has taken a bow and exited the stage. However, for our friends in the Lau and Lomaiviti groups, Kadavu, and smaller nearby islands, it’s still time to dance with the clouds, as a heavy rain warning remains in effect. Don’t forget your galoshes!
Here’s the scoop: a lazy trough of low pressure is hanging out over Fiji, conveniently making itself comfortable with some clouds and showers over Lau and Lomaiviti today. If you were planning to stay dry, you might want to think again!
Your forecast for today—drumroll, please!
– Lau and Lomaiviti: Expect occasional rain, possibly heavy (not the kind that comes with a side of fries). Thunderstorms might shake things up a little bit but hang tight! The rain should lighten up before bedtime to a more manageable shower. Just be warned—localized heavy falls could start a flash flood dance party in the low-lying areas. So, keep those floaties handy!
– For the rest of Fiji, we’re looking at mostly fine weather with a side of afternoon or evening showers and the occasional dramatic thunderclap. Why just have a normal day when you can add a little thunder to spice things up?
– Winds will be moderate to fresh, giving you the perfect excuse to have a wind-blown hair moment. The seas? They’re feeling a bit moderate to rough, so maybe skip the boat ride unless you’re a fan of lively waves.
Looking ahead to tomorrow, here’s what the weather gods have in store for you:
– East Viti Levu (Serua-Namosi, Navua-Suva-Nausori, Tailevu-Naitasiri-Ra) will be flirting with a few showers, while the breeze continues to sway gently.
For the temperature watchers out there:
– Navua/Suva/Nausori: Min: 22, Max: 28.
– Sigatoka/Coral Coast: Min: 23, Max: 31.
– Nadi/Lautoka/Ba: Min: 23, Max: 31.
– And everyone else is in the same boat, fine except for some possible afternoon or evening shower flurries.
The Yasawa/Mamanuca group and Labasa might want to keep their eyes peeled for those pesky showers too, while Taveuni and Kadavu will enjoy a mix of fine weather and occasional thunderstorm drama.
As for Rotuma, it seems a southeasterly wind flow will keep things fresh, but occasional showers may crash the party. The maximum there could reach a balmy 32 degrees, perfect for a quick dip between downpours!
And there you have it—your weather forecast with a hearty sprinkle of humor. Stay dry, stay safe, and remember: in Fiji, even the thunder has its own flair!
