Weather Update: The Bumpy Ride Continues!
Brought to you by the National Weather Forecasting Centre, Nadi, at an ungodly hour of 5:30am on Tuesday, October 21, 2025.
Heads up, coastal dwellers of Kadavu and its pint-sized island cousins, Viti Levu’s eastern side, Taveuni’s sunny shores, and Vanua Levu’s easterly bits! Strong winds are knocking on your door at speeds of up to 45 km/hr. Hold onto your hats (and maybe your pet goldfish), because it’s going to get gusty out there. This is one of those days where you may want to consider having your snacks on hand—who knows when the next gust might send you chasing after that rogue chip bag!
Now, let’s talk about our old friend, the rain! There’s some serious cloud shenanigans going on, thanks to a low-pressure trough wobbling its way toward Fiji. Expect some sporadic rain with the dramatic flair of isolated thunderstorms over places like Vanua Levu, Taveuni, and just about anywhere eastward including the interior of Viti Levu. Think of it as nature’s way of reminding you it’s time to water your indoor plants!
Flash flooding is also in the mix, so if you live in low-lying areas, it might be a good time to consider building a small ark—just in case.
Looking ahead to Wednesday, it sounds like our weather is going to bring a sequel! More rain with the potential for heavy falls and the occasional thunderstorm, particularly in the interior and eastern pockets of Viti Levu, Southern Bua, and Taveuni territory. Consider the cloudy periods your cue for a cozy movie marathon—why not, right?
