Weather Update
Greetings, fellow weather watchers! Gather ’round as we unveil the latest forecast from the National Weather Forecasting Centre in Nadi, duct-taped together as of 10:45 am on Tuesday, January 27, 2026.
Situation: Brace yourselves, folks! A low-pressure trough, which sounds like an inconvenient plumbing issue, is rolling in from the west, and it’s bringing along some clouds and rain as uninvited guests. For now, we’re experiencing a pleasant southeast wind flow, as if nature is giving us a refreshing breeze before the party starts.
Forecast until midnight tomorrow for our lovely Fiji group:
Expect cloudy spells with some dribbles of rain over Navua, Suva, Nausori, and their nearby buddies in Serua-Namosi, as well as parts of Ra, Naitasiri, Tailevu North, Kadavu, and those smaller islands that didn’t make it onto the tourist brochures. For those in the less crowded parts like Nabouwalu to Dakuniba and beyond, you might enjoy my personal favorite: isolated afternoon or evening showers, because who doesn’t enjoy a surprise sprinkle?
Now, let’s spice things up with some rain and thunderstorms making their grand entrance from the west later tomorrow. So be ready, the skies may start to join the “let’s get wet” party! Winds will shift from moderate east to southeast, before transitioning to moderate to fresh northeast, which makes it seem like the wind is trying on different outfits.
Sea conditions are currently moderate but expect them to get a bit rougher tomorrow, as if the ocean decided it’s time for some dramatic flair.
Looking into Thursday: We’re talking about occasional rain, heavy at times, with a few thunderstorms thrown in for good measure. Localized heavy falls might lead to flash flooding, so maybe hold off on that outdoor picnic!
Now, let’s break it down for some of our favorite spots:
