Fiji Weather Forecast: Occasional Showers and Thunderstorms with Heavy Falls Expected This Week

Weather Update

Greetings, weather enthusiasts! Here’s the latest scoop from the National Weather Forecasting Center in Nadi, delivered on this fine Sunday evening, March 23, 2025. Grab your umbrellas and maybe a good book, because we’re in for a wild ride!

Currently, a moody easterly wind flow is sweeping through the islands like a slightly damp towel, bringing along a couple of surprises. A trough of low pressure is lounging to the far east, slowly packing its bags, while another sluggish trough is hanging out to the west and extending its lazy reach southeast into the South of Fiji. So, if you were hoping for a dry week, you might want to check your life choices!

What’s the forecast until midnight tomorrow?

Expect occasional showers and some isolated thunderclaps over Kadavu and nearby small islands, as well as Lau and the Lomaiviti groups.
Viti Levu’s eastern regions (think Serua/Namosi through Navua to Nausori, Tailevu, Naitasiri, and Ra) can prepare for cloudy spells with a dash of showers.
Everywhere else? Just a glimmer of sunshine peeking through the clouds with some afternoon or evening showers thrown in for good measure. But don’t forget—thunderstorms with the potential for heavy rainfall are likely to join the party in the Western and Southern parts of Viti Levu and Vanua Levu. Just a heads up: localized heavy rainfall might cause some dramatic flash floods in low-lying areas—so keep your eyes peeled!

The wind is nothing to write home about—expect moderate east to northeasterly breezes that might get a little zestier during those rain-heavy moments. And let’s not even talk about the seas; they promise to be moderately choppy!

Now, let’s peek at what Tuesday has in store: more of the same! Cloudy periods with showers and isolated thunderstorms are ready to make an appearance over the eastern half of Viti Levu, extending to Lau, Lomaiviti, Kadavu, Cakaudrove, and southern Bua. Heavy rainfall can be expected elsewhere in the islands too—so don’t forget to wear your best waterproof shoes!

To break it down by location:
– **Navua, Suva, and Nausori**: Cloudy with some showers. So cozy up with a cup of tea.
– **Nadi, Lautoka, and Ba**: Partly cloudy with afternoon or evening showers and thunderstorms. Don’t forget to dance in the rain!
– **Sigatoka/Coral Coast**: Similar to above, prepare for showers and boisterous thunderstorms.
– **Tavua/Rakiraki & Yasawa/Mamanuca**: Afternoon or evening showers and thunderstorms are on the agenda.
– **Labasa**: Expect a bit of cloudiness with the chance for those cheeky thunderstorms.
– **Savusavu**: Clouds will be your companions along with occasional showers.
– **Lau/Lomaiviti & Kadavu**: Oh look, more showers and thunderstorms—what a fun surprise!
– **Rotuma**: From tomorrow, expect cloudy spells, showers, and some thunder in your life!

So there you have it—make sure to be rain-ready! Happy weather watching, and remember, every cloud has a silver lining… or in this case, maybe just a bunch of showers!
