Weather Alert: Your Daily Dose of Sunshine and Showers
Brought to you straight from the National Weather Forecasting Centre, Nadi, here’s the weather scoop for today, Thursday, January 22, 2026.
Hold onto your umbrellas, folks! Expect some cloudy periods with the potential for brief showers in Labasa, Namuka, Udu Point, the interior of Wailevu, Vaturova, Saqani, Taveuni, and our charming smaller islands, as well as the Lau and Lomaiviti groups. Don’t be alarmed; it’s just the clouds being moody!
Now, if you’re hanging out in Natadola, Nadi, Lautoka, Ba, Tavua, Rakiraki, Yasawa, or the Mamanucas, it’s mostly sunny—think of it as the weather giving you a thumbs up! But don’t let your guard down—the possibility of afternoon or evening showers is lurking about, just like that one friend who always shows up uninvited to the party.
Severe thunderstorms might crash the afternoon shindig, boasting heavy rainfall. Make sure your floaties are handy, as localized heavy downpours could lead to flash flooding in low-lying areas. And just a heads up, expect moderate winds blowing from the west to southwest, so tuck in your hats!
Looking ahead to Friday, expect a repeat performance of cloudy periods and showers over Sigatoka, Nadi, Lautoka, Ba, Tavua, Rakiraki, the interior regions of Ba and Ra, and, of course, our beloved islands. Elsewhere, you might just need your raincoat for those surprise afternoon downpours.
For our friends in Navua, Suva, and Nausori, enjoy mostly fine weather, but the thunderstorms later might have a heavy flair! Don’t let the sun trick you into thinking it’s all good—those clouds have a mind of their own!
Today, temperatures are a cozy minimum of 24°C and reaching up to 32°C if you’re lucky.
Expect similar warm welcomes on Friday with temperatures maintaining a friendly embrace around 24°C to 32°C throughout the region.
Now, let’s break it down city by city:
– **Sigatoka/Coral Coast**: Fine this morning, but expect those playful showers with a thunderstorm encore in the afternoon!
– **Nadi/Lautoka/Ba**: Enjoy brief sunny interludes, but the skies might just decide to throw in some rain and thunder later.
– **Yasawa/Mamanuca**: A fine day—apart from those fun little showers challenging your outdoor plans.
– **Labasa**: Cloudy with brief showers—we couldn’t promise a clear sky for long!
– **Savusavu/Nabouwalu**: Fine and dandy, but your umbrella might want to stick around for the afternoon routine of showers and thunder.
– **Taveuni, Kadavu, Lau, and Lomaiviti**: Expect cloud cover with friendly brief showers, but hang tight, it won’t rain all day!
So, gear up for a classic mix of sunshine and showers. Remember, a little rain can lead to a double rainbow, so keep those spirits high! Enjoy the day, folks!
