Weather Whirlwind
Brought to you straight from the National Weather Forecasting Centre, it’s your daily scoop on the skies, just in case you were planning an outdoor activity and needed a little divine intervention.
As of 5:30 AM on Tuesday, December 23, 2025, we’ve got a flirtatious weak trough of low pressure lingering in the north of Fiji, like a guest at a party who just won’t take the hint to leave. But don’t worry—it’s slowly drifting away, giving us all a chance to stretch our wings. Meanwhile, a breezy southeast wind flow is waving hello over the islands.
So, what’s on the forecast menu for today? The Fiji group can expect a mix of cloudy periods punctuated with showers—especially over the beautiful Vanua Levu, the lovely Taveuni, and a few nearby islands. Eastern Viti Levu, the Lau, and Lomaiviti groups aren’t getting off easy either; they’re on shower watch. But fear not! The rest of the islands will be playing nice with fine weather, save for those sneaky afternoon or evening showers that always seem to catch us off guard. There’s even a chance of some isolated thunderstorms, just to keep things exciting!
For those of you loving the wind in your hair, grab a hat—it’s going to be moderately breezy today, with fresh southeast winds sweeping through. And if you’re planning on dancing on the waves, beware of moderate to rough seas!
Looking ahead to Wednesday, the forecast is still holding onto that cloudy theme, with showers expected over eastern Viti Levu and the southern Bua as well, while other regions can expect some delightful sunshine with a chance of afternoon or evening squalls. The winds will continue their sprightly southeast shenanigans, while the seas remain on the lively side.
Here’s a scoop for major spots:
– **Navua / Suva / Nausori:** Get ready for cloud cover with showers and potential thunderstorm action—which sounds ominous but really just means it’s a good day to stay cozy inside. Temps will be a comfy 23 to 30°C.
– **Sigatoka/Coral Coast:** Sunshine will be rigorous in the morning, but those afternoon showers are lurking with potential thunderstorms, ranging from 23 to 31°C. A perfect excuse to seek shelter with an ice cream!
– **Nadi / Lautoka / Ba:** Expect the fine weather to hold with a sprinkle of afternoon excitement (read: showers and possible thunderstorms). Temperatures are looking balmy, hovering between 23 and 32°C.
– **Savusavu:** The stage is set for some drama with cloudy periods, showers, and short-lived thunderstorms. Dress accordingly and bring your umbrella—it’s likely to see 23 to 30°C.
– **Kadavu:** Don’t let those afternoon showers dampen your spirits; fine weather will visit too! Swing from 22 to 30°C as you enjoy the scenery.
– **Rotuma:** The weak trough to the south will generate some drama with cloudy periods and showers. Who doesn’t love a good thunderstorm now and then? Temperatures will be a toasty 24 to 32°C.
Be sure to keep your umbrella in hand and your spirits higher than the clouds—after all, it’s just weather being weather!
