Weather Whimsies: The Polynesian Play-by-Play
Hold onto your hats, Fiji, we’ve got a strong wind alert galloping across the coastal lands of Ra-Rakiraki, Southern Bua, Taveuni, and our delightful confetti of smaller islands: Lau, Lomaiviti, and Kadavu. A high-pressure system to the southwest is diligently directing fresh to full-throttle southeast winds our way. So, if you’ve ever wanted your own wind-blown supermodel moment, now’s your chance.
Through the curtain of Tuesday night, expect the weather gods to be in a bit of a playful mood with cloudy clusters and fleeting showers drizzling over the interior and eastern parts of Viti Levu—you know Serua-Namosi, Navua-Suva, and the rest of the local gang. The night will drop a cool vibe, perfect for cozy nights tucked under a blanket.
For our Koro Island enthusiasts and those on the coast, brace yourself for the breathy charm of those southeast winds at a brisk 45 km/hour. Seas shall be rough, so perhaps a dance partner with solid footing would be a good idea.
Wednesday also brings a dose of cloud theatrics and cameo showers particularly over the eastern interiors. For the rest of Fiji, expect mostly fine weather—along with those chill nights that beg for a good book or a warm cup of cocoa.
And now, our local highlights:
Navua / Suva / Nausori: Keep that umbrella close; some brief showers will make an appearance between cloud gigs. Tonight might be a tad nippy, with the thermostat swinging between 20°C today and building up to a sun-kissed 29°C tomorrow.
Nadi / Lautoka / Ba: It’s all fair weather and cool nightlife. It’s as if the skies whispered, “Let’s keep it classy.” Expect temperatures between a refreshing 19°C and a crisp 30°C.
Sigatoka/Coral Coast: It’s a sun-soaked scene with cool nights, so take cue from the waves—just relax.
Tavua/Rakiraki: A bit of a moody cloud cover over Rakiraki with sprinkles invited to the party. Temperatures are doing a comfy dance between 19°C and 31°C.
Natadradave/Korovou: Who said clouds can’t be stylish? They’ll be doing their thing with some cheeky sprinkles. Nighttime will be cool coziness, dipping just below the breezy 30°C line.
Yasawa/Mamanuca: Call it prime-time weather, featuring clear skies and comfortable night temperatures.
Labasa: You might label the day as “mainly fine.” Temperatures will gush up to 31°C before retreating under the night’s cooler blanket.
Savusavu: A little cloud cover here, a shower there—consider it atmospheric balancing of the cosmic scales.

Lau and Lomaiviti Group: Similar scenes with southeast winds stealing the show—definitely hold onto any loose hats.
Kadavu: Expect the southeast wind orchestra to play alongside showers, all under atmosphere’s cool lighting.
