Fiji Weather Bulletin: Trough Brings Cloudy Skies, Showers and Thunderstorms with Heavy Rain and Localised Flood Risk

Weather Update

Good morning, fellow weather watchers! It’s Monday, March 9, 2026, and the clouds have decided to make a guest appearance across our beautiful islands. A little disturbance is hanging out to the east, and it’s bringing along some clouds and showers for our viewing pleasure, particularly for the eastern and northern parts of our tropical paradise—how thoughtful of them!

Here’s what’s on tap for the Fiji group today until midnight: expect cloudy times with showers and possibly a few isolated thunderstorms gracing the Northern Division, Lau and Lomaiviti group, Kadavu and those cheeky little islands nearby, plus Navua, Suva, Nausori, Tailevu, Naitasiri, Ra, Yasawa, and Mamanuca. It’s like a weather buffet out there! Just remember, localised heavy falls may cause a bit of flash flooding, so keep your flotation devices handy if you’re in a low-lying area!

Now, for those of us who thrive in the sun, fear not! Some fine weather is lurking around, with only a few afternoon or evening showers and thunderstorms popping up elsewhere. The moderate northerly winds are here to give you a nice breeze, and the seas are moderate as well—perfect for a splash or two!

Looking ahead to Tuesday: it seems the clouds want to stick around a bit longer. We’ll see more cloudy periods with showers over Serua-Namosi, Navua, Suva, Nausori, Tailevu, Naitasiri, Ra, the eastern parts of Macuata, Cakaudrove, Lau, Lomaiviti groups, and Kadavu—sounds like a blockbuster weather sequel! The sun might shine during the day, only to pull a fast one with some thunderstorms in the afternoon and evening across Viti Levu and Vanua Levu.

Now let’s see what today’s weather has in store for specific regions:

**Navua / Suva / Nausori:** Cloudy with a side of showers and a sprinkle of isolated thunderstorms. Temperature: Min 25, Max 32.

**Natadradave/Korovou:** Cloudy with showers and those delightful isolated thunderstorms. Temperature: Min 25, Max 32.
