Weather Update
Gather ’round, folks! The weather wizards at the National Weather Forecasting Centre in Nadi have conjured up a new forecast for us, fresh from the lab at 7:30 PM on this fine Thursday night in August (fingers crossed it’s not a witching hour).
So, what’s brewing in the skies? There’s a weak trough of low pressure hanging out over the northeastern parts of the country, which is meteorologist talk for “something might rain on our parade.” Northern Division and the Northern Lau group can expect some cloud cover and showers until the wee hours tonight. Meanwhile, a respectable southerly breeze is sweeping through, trying to keep things cool—because who doesn’t like a natural air conditioning system?
Now, let’s break it down for the forecast ahead of us:
Tonight: Expect those occasional showers refusing to leave the Northern Division and Northern Lau group. If you’re out and about in Sigatoka-Coral Coast, Navua-Suva-Nausori, Kadavu, or any of the nearby smaller islands, remember to pack an umbrella—there are some brief showers scheduled just for you! Elsewhere? Mainly fine and dandy.
Tomorrow: More of the same—with fine weather making an appearance except for those cheeky brief showers over Sigatoka-Coral Coast, Navua-Suva-Nausori, and friends. You’ll hardly notice them, but they’re there, making things just a tad interesting. The other groups can expect weather perfection, or at least the next best thing!
As for the night time—cooler temps are expected, so snuggle up and bring out the cozy blankets. And those winds? They’re in a bit of a mood—moderate to fresh southerly. Seas may decide to get a little bumpy too, so the boaters out there might want to hold onto their hats!
Looking ahead to Saturday: More fine weather is on the menu, except for a sprinkling of brief showers again over the usual suspects. It’s like those showers are guests who just won’t leave! And don’t forget the cool nights.
Now, let’s take a peek at the specifics for our favorite areas:
For Navua / Suva / Nausori:
Today: Max temp of 28—keep on sweating, friends!
Tomorrow: A min of 17 and a max of 27—cool nights are here to stay.

For Tavua/Rakiraki: Today should hit a max of 29.
Tomorrow’s lows: 17 and highs: 30—can you say “perfect barbecue weather”?
Saturday keeps the good times rolling—mainly fine again!
And the list goes on for each of our lovely corners of Fiji! Just remember, whether in Labasa with a high of 27 today, or in Taveuni with occasional showers that ease out tomorrow, keep your spirits high and your umbrellas handy!
So, strap on your sunscreen or grab your raincoat—it’s a bit of weather roulette until the weekend wraps up. Enjoy the weather, no matter how it plays out!
