Weather Update
Issued from the National Weather Forecasting Centre Nadi at 7:30 PM on Wednesday, March 4, 2026
Situation: It seems our local weather has decided to bring a little drama to the scene. A trough of low pressure is hanging around, and it’s not shy about flaunting its clouds and showers like confetti at a party. Expect some splashy antics until later tonight!
Forecast for the Fiji group until midnight tomorrow:
Today: If you’ve ever wanted to experience what it’s like to live inside a cloud, today is your day! Get ready for dark and moody skies with showers stealing the spotlight over the western half of Viti Levu, as well as the Yasawa and Mamanuca group, Kadavu, smaller nearby islands, and the Southern Lau group. Other areas might get a mere sprinkle of drama with clouds and brief showers. As evening approaches, expect showers to intensify, heavy enough to get that thunderstorm soundtrack rolling in. And let’s not forget the moderate northerly winds – just enough to flip your umbrella inside out!
Tomorrow: The clouds are back, and it looks like they’re throwing a party over Serua-Namosi, Navua-Suva-Nausori, Tailevu-Naitasiri-Ra, Southern Bua, Cakaudrove, Taveuni, and those nearby smaller islands, plus Lau and Lomaiviti groups, Kadavu, and its close-knit buddies. If you’re elsewhere, you might just catch some fine weather, but don’t let your guard down! Afternoon and evening showers could come crashing in like an unexpected guest, bringing along some thunder to keep things lively. Watch out for localized heavy falls – they might just turn low-lying areas into makeshift swimming pools.
Outlook for Friday: The cloudy saga continues! Expect cloudy patches and occasional showers over those same areas, with sunny spells trying to elbow their way through in other parts – classic weather behavior! Heavy thunderstorms are still on the guest list for Viti Levu and Vanua Levu, so keep your rain boots handy!
