Fiji Weather Forecast: Low-Pressure Trough North of Fiji Brings Showers, Thunderstorms Across the Group

Weather Update
Coming your way from the National Weather Forecasting Centre in Nadi, at the decidedly unglamorous hour of 7:30 PM on Friday, October 17, 2025.

Situation: There’s a low-pressure trough hanging around just north of Fiji, apparently enjoying a leisurely vacation while giving the easterly winds a good workout.

Forecast until midnight for the Fiji group: Get ready for bursts of rain and a sprinkle of thunderstorms! The Northern Division, including our friends on Taveuni, Cikobia, and Qelelevu, is in for a wet night full of excitement. The rest of Viti Levu should brace for gloomy spells with showers and possibly dramatic thunderstorms, especially in the Interior and eastern areas (think of it as nature’s pyrotechnics show), plus Kadavu and its little islands, Lau, and Lomaiviti.

Farther afield, it’s fine and dandy, save for some potential afternoon or evening showers that may decide to crash the party. Moderate southeast winds are blowing, occasionally fresh enough to make you wish for a sweater. Seas are on the moderate to rough side; so, keep those life jackets handy if you’re taking to the waters!

Outlook for Sunday: Expect the excitement to continue with occasional showers and perhaps another round of thunderstorms about the Interior and eastern parts of Viti Levu and surrounding islands. The rest can anticipate some cloud cover with the possibility of afternoon or evening showers—because why not? East winds will remain moderate to fresh, and the seas will keep their rough edge.

Let’s get down to the nitty-gritty:

For Navua/Suva/Nausori: Enjoy the cloudy weather with some showers—becoming more frequent later on with potential heavy downpours and thunder. Tomorrow’s forecast: a Minimum of 22 degrees and a Maximum of 29. Sunday surprises: A repeat of showers and possible fireworks.

For Nadi/Lautoka/Ba: Here’s the good news: it’s looking generally sunny! Just some chance encounters with afternoon or evening showers and thunderstorms. Tomorrow’s forecast: Minimum 22, Maximum 32. Sunday brings another day of sunshine with that same cheeky chance for showers.
