Weather Update
Issued at 5:30 am on Friday, January 2, 2026.
Brace yourselves, Fiji! A cheeky trough of low pressure is shaking things up, bringing clouds and showers to the eastern parts of our paradise. Meanwhile, we’re experiencing a breezy game of “pass the wind” from southerly to northerly directions all over the country.
Here’s what you can expect before midnight tonight: expect cloudy periods sprinkled with showers, and, if you’re lucky, some dramatic thunderstorms over places like Coral Coast, Greater Suva, and a few other adventurous locales. Interior Ra, Naitasiri, and the Southern Bua & Cakudrove provinces are all in on the action, too. But don’t worry; for those outside of these areas, the weather is mostly fine—just a little sprinkle of afternoon or evening showers to keep things interesting.
In terms of wind, look forward to moderate to fresh breezes, and the seas are feeling a little moody, so perhaps skip the surfboards for today.
Now, let’s peek at tomorrow’s forecast. More clouds, more showers, and yes—possible thunderstorms. It seems like the heavens are hosting a thunderous concert over Suva and Naitasiri! Isolated heavy falls are likely, which may just decide to play the ‘flooding in low-lying areas’ game, so please keep an eye on your favorite puddle! Outside of the potential splash zones, most places will remain fine. Winds will stay in the moderate to fresh category, and the sea will continue its slightly rowdy demeanor.
