Weather Update
Hello, Fiji! Gather ’round for your daily dose of weather wizardry, straight from the National Weather Forecasting Centre. It’s 5:30 AM on this glorious Wednesday, January 21, 2026, and we’re about to dive into the soggy stuff.
For today, expect a mix of clouds and a sprinkle of showers over the Labasa, Namuka, and Udu Point areas, as well as the interior of Wailevu, Vaturova, and Saqani. If you’re hanging out in Taveuni or the nearby islands, grab your umbrella; it’s bound to rain on your picnic parade!
However, not all is doom and gloom. Regions like Natadola, Nadi, Lautoka, Ba, Tavua, and Rakiraki will see a fair bit of sunshine, with the occasional unexpected shower—surprise! The Yasawa and Mamanuca Islands are also putting on their best sunny smiles today, though they can’t promise a shower-free zone either.
Now, as we flirt with the afternoon and evening, brace yourselves for some dramatic thunderstorms. Yes, those are the sky’s way of putting on a show, so don’t be surprised if you find yourself in the audience of a heavy rainfall drama. Just keep an eye on lower-lying areas; they might get a bit too interested in the rain’s plot twists, leading to flash flooding.
Winds will be moderately blowing from the west to southwest, and seas will be feeling just fine, so if you’re thinking of a sea adventure, don’t forget your flotation devices—and perhaps a good book if you get caught in a shower.
Looking ahead to Thursday: more clouds, a chance of showers, and quite possibly a thunderous encore! So, make sure to keep that umbrella at the ready and your rain dance practiced.
Now, let’s break down what’s happening in your neck of the woods:
– Navua/Suva/Nausori: Mainly fine, as long as you avoid that pesky afternoon shower. Temperatures will be cozy between 24 and 31 degrees.
– Natadradave/Korovou: Lovely weather most of the day, but you know the drill—expect some late showers or boisterous thunderstorms. Same temperature routine here!
– Sigatoka/Coral Coast: It’s mostly nice today, but every now and then, expect a shower or two, bringing temperatures from 24 to 32.
– Nadi/Lautoka/Ba: Keep it breezy and fine, unless the afternoon decides otherwise with a rain party. Tomorrow might hit 32 degrees!
– Yasawa/Mamanuca group: Enjoy the fine weather, but keep your raincoat nearby as showers might pop by.
– Labasa: Don’t let those clouds fool you; brief showers are on their way, and maybe some rambunctious afternoon thunderstorms.
– Savusavu: A lovely day until those late-afternoon showers and thunderstorms shake things up.
– Kadavu: You’ve got a mixed bag of cloudy weather, showers, and perhaps a few thunder claps to keep things interesting.
– Rotuma: Feeling pretty good with a few brief showers for company.
So there you have it, folks! Keep your spirits high and your umbrellas handy because today’s weather is a colorful kaleidoscope of sunny patches and shower surprises. Enjoy your day!
