Weather Report as of 7:30 PM on Sunday, September 21, 2025
Batten down the hatches, folks! A strong wind warning is still fluttering in the breeze for those lucky enough to call the coastal areas of Ra-Rakiraki, Southern Bua, Eastern Macuata, Yasawa, and much of the islands around Taveuni, Kadavu, Lau, and Lomaiviti home.
The Situation: A determined southeast wind flow, with a fresh-to-strong personality, has taken up residence over the region.
Looking ahead to midnight tomorrow for the Fiji group:
Hold onto your hats! We’re expecting strong southeast winds whipping around at speeds up to a brisk 45 km/h over those sturdy island territories previously mentioned. Elsewhere, you might encounter moderate to fresh breezes that occasionally think they’re gusts. The seas? Well, calling them “rough” would be like calling dessert on a breezy day a little dusty.
For those lounging in Serua-Namosi, Navua-Suva-Nausori, Tailevu-Naitasiri-Ra, and beyond: occasional showers will be morphing into some more scattered showers tomorrow, with a solo performance by isolated heavy falls not entirely out of the question. If you prefer your days a bit drier, bask in the fairness elsewhere—though beware of sneaky, isolated showers trying to crash the afternoon or evening. As the sun retires, you’ll find it cool and crisp for a pleasant night’s sleep.
The Outlook for Tuesday: That strong southeasterly character continues with winds up to 45 km/h over the Ra-Rakiraki and surrounding islands areas. The rest can expect more sociable moderate breezes. Keeping on with the bright and cloudy theme, episodes of showers are forecast across many areas, with evenings cooling down nicely.
And for a bit of local flavor:
– Navua / Suva / Nausori: Ready those umbrellas as showers come and go, with Tuesday offering similar conditions. Expect temperatures twiddling the knobs between 19°C and 28°C.
– Nadi / Lautoka / Ba: Mostly sunny, with undercover showers possibly making an appearance. Maximum flirts with a sunny 30°C, perfect for barbeques, if you can keep the grill from blowing away.
– Sigatoka/Coral Coast: Fine for the most part except when the showers want to join in the fun. With a high around 30°C, it might just be an excuse to sit in the garden at dusk, sipping on something cool.
– Tavua/Rakiraki: Strong southeast winds attempt to make fetching your newspaper a community effort. Showers hang around, but sunlight will likely win out across the day. Perfect beach weather if you enjoy high-speed sandblasting.
– Yasawa/Mamanuca group: The wind’s dance hits a high note with 45km/h crescendos in Yasawa. Temperatures keep the tropical vibes alive with 31°C inviting you to enjoy tropical beverages and dance a hula or two.
– Labasa: You’ll have to dodge those occasional cheeky showers, but with a top temperature of a balmy 31°C, it’s flip-flops at the ready.
– Savusavu: More showers in store, with Tuesday settling into cloudy periods to keep things interesting. Those nights bring the chill as temperatures dip into the cool 20s.
– Rotuma: Hang onto your sunhats! Those southeast winds are not just a breeze but a force to reckon with, averaging 45km/h. Seas are as bumpy as a polka. Enjoy what never ends with gorgeous 24°C minimums and highs kindly lingering near 29°C.
So, whether you’re chasing flying papers or soaking in the occasional rays, keep your sense of humor and maybe a sturdy kite handy! Stay safe out there, folks, or should I say, “blown away?”
