Fiji Weather Bulletin: Showers, Thunderstorms and Heavy Falls Across Fiji as Trough Lays Over Southern and Eastern Areas and Winds Shift to Southeast

Weather Update

Greetings, weather enthusiasts! This is your friendly neighborhood weather assistant bringing you the scoop from the National Weather Forecasting Centre in Nadi. Buckle up as we forecast the atmospheric shenanigans from this Thursday, February 19, 2026.

Currently, a polite northeast wind is hovering over us, but prepare for a saucy twist as we gear up for some southeasterly breezes later today. And just when you thought it was going too smoothly, a weak little trough of low pressure is slipping into the southern and eastern territories by tomorrow—nothing like an unexpected guest to keep things spicy!

Now, onto the weather forecast for the Fiji group until the witching hour tomorrow:

**Today:** Most areas are basking in glorious fine weather, though brief showers might pop up like uninvited party crashers in the interior and eastern locales of the larger islands. Keep your eyes peeled for isolated afternoon or evening showers and possibly a thunderstorm or two that could bring heavy falls over the interior and southern regions of Viti Levu and Vanua Levu.

**Tomorrow:** It’s expected to get a bit cloudier with some showers rolling over Serua-Namosi, Navua-Suva-Nausori, Tailevu-Naitasiri-Ra-Rakiraki, Kadavu, Southern Bua, Cakaudrove, Taveuni, Lau, and Lomaiviti groups. But fear not, it’s still fine elsewhere, aside from those pesky afternoon or evening showers swooping in for a visit.

And what about those thunderclaps? Yes, isolated thunderstorms may just crash the afternoon tea party with possible heavy rainfalls. Let’s not forget about the moderate winds flexing their muscles before transitioning to southeast later today, resulting in moderate seas fit for a casual dip.

Looking ahead to Saturday: Expect cloudiness with showers over Kadavu and surrounding islands, while the southern Lau group gets ready for some cloudy action along with brief showers over Serua-Namosi, Navua-Suva-Nausori, Tailevu, and others. But hey, keep calm because fine weather with the potential for isolated afternoon and evening showers remains intact for most areas!

Now let’s break it down a little more regionally for everyone’s favorite spots:

**Navua / Suva / Nausori:** Today is looking fine, but prepare for brief showers and a potential thunderstorm in the afternoon or evening. Max temp hits a sizzling 33°C. Tomorrow, we shift gears to cloudy with some showers and thunderstorms—meanwhile, you can expect to start your day with a cozy 25°C and a highest of 30°C.

**Sigatoka/Coral Coast:** Mainly fine weather today, with a sprinkle of afternoon excitement on the way in the form of brief showers and thunderstorms, topping out at 33°C. Tomorrow brings more fine weather with isolated shower surprises.

**Nadi / Lautoka / Ba:** It’s sunny skies for now! Just a heads up for some brief afternoon showers and storms. Your highs will also be seeking out the 33°C mark.

**Taveuni:** Your day is mainly fine too, just those pesky showers making the occasional appearance, with excitement in the form of thunderstorms. High of 33°C today and tomorrow will be similar with some clouds.

**Kadavu:** Fine weather reigns but watch out for those sporadic thunderstorms later. With temps dancing between 25°C and reaching up to 33°C, it’s a toasty treat.

So, polish your umbrellas, slip on those shades, and prepare mentally for the possibility of a surprise shower! Stick around for updates, and may your day be as bright as the sunshine in Fiji… or at least not too wet!
