Weather Alert from the National Weather Forecasting Centre Nadi, just in case you were planning a sunshine party for Christmas—issued at the crack of dawn on this Thursday, December 25, 2025.
Situation: A rather lazy trough of low pressure has decided to hang out over the northern parts of the islands, bringing along its cloud and shower buddies. It’s like a never-ending potluck with rain that’s set to crash the party in the Northern Division later today. Meanwhile, the moist southeasterly winds are doing their best to keep things breezy—who doesn’t love a good draft?
Forecast for Fiji until midnight tonight: Expect a surprise visit from cloudy periods, some showers, and maybe even those pesky thunderstorms popping up over Serua-Namosi, Navua-Suva-Nausori, Tailevu-Naitasiri-Ra, Eastern Macuata, Southern Bua, Cakaudrove, Taveuni, and their smaller island pals—Lau and Lomaiviti groups, as well as Kadavu and nearby islands. Elsewhere, the sun might just shine through, but be wary of afternoon or evening showers crashing the fun. Keep your hands ready for potential flash flooding in low-lying areas caused by persistent heavy rain, as Mother Nature loves showing off. Winds will blow in from the southeast, giving you that fresh “ocean breeze” feeling—especially during those intense showers. Seas will likely be moderate to rough, so don’t get too attached to any beach towels today!
Looking forward to Friday: Expect more cloudy periods with some showers invading Eastern Macuata, Cakaudrove, Southern Bua, and Taveuni, while the rest of the islands enjoy slightly less drama, with just a little cloud cover and brief showers. So pack an umbrella just in case—it’s like bringing a snack for a road trip, you never know when it’ll come in handy.
