Weather Update: January 1, 2026
Well, folks, it looks like Mother Nature has decided to throw on a moody, cloudy blanket over Fiji tonight. A pesky trough of low pressure continues to lounge around the eastern parts, causing clouds, showers, and a chance for a bit of thunderbolting drama. Because who doesn’t love a little atmosphere, right?
Here’s what you can expect until midnight tomorrow: Across the Coral Coast to Navua, and in the Greater Suva/Nausori-Tailevu stretch, you’ll find cloudy periods with some showers and the occasional thunderstorm trying to steal the spotlight. Interior regions of Ra and Naitasiri, as well as Southern Bua & Cakudrove provinces, are also in for a wet show. Meanwhile, if you’re elsewhere, you can enjoy fine weather—just don’t get too comfy, as sporadic afternoon or evening showers might make a surprise appearance.
The winds will be moderate to fresh, fluctuating mainly from the south to north, and the sea will be moderate to rough. So, maybe hold off on that romantic evening sail?
