Weather Update: The Fiji Edition
Greetings, fellow weather enthusiasts! We’ve got an intriguing day ahead, courtesy of a rather weak trough of low pressure that’s making its way toward us from the west. Think of it as that friendly neighbor who drops by unannounced but brings snacks!
As for the wind, it’s mainly coming from the east to northeast, ensuring that our hair moments will be wind-blown, and selfies will be fabulously tousled.
Forecast until midnight tomorrow: Expect cloudy periods with some showers to take the stage in Serua-Namosi, Navua-Suva-Nausori, Tailevu-Naitasiri-Ra, Eastern Macuata, Cakaudrove, Lau and Lomaiviti, as well as in Kadavu and the neighboring mini islands, Taveuni, Qamea, and Cikobia. Elsewhere, you may find sunny patches trying their best to poke through, but with a chance of sneaky isolated showers sneaking in for the afternoon or evening.
For those in Viti Levu and Vanua Levu, there’s a low risk of afternoon or evening thunderstorms. Don’t worry; they promise not to be too bothersome—think of them as the dramatic flair of the weather.
We’re looking at moderate east to northeast winds that will start to tiptoe their way to the southeast tomorrow. Sea conditions? Moderately exhilarating!
Now, let’s glance at the forecast for Friday: More clouds and brief showers will hang around the usual suspects: Serua-Namosi, Navua-Suva-Nausori, Tailevu-Naitasiri-Ra, Eastern Macuata, Cakaudrove, Lau, and Lomaiviti groups, Kadavu, along with our dear little islands, Taveuni, Qamea, and Cikobia. Other regions can expect some delightful sunshine with the possibility of isolated afternoon or evening showers joining the fun.
A low risk of thunderstorms is still in the cards for Viti Levu and Vanua Levu. Meanwhile, moderate to fresh southerly winds will be giving us a gentle push, and the seas are sure to be lively.
Here’s a sneak peek into individual regions:
Navua/Suva/Nausori: Prepare for some cloudy shenanigans with a few showers joining in. On Friday, expect a repeat performance of clouds and brief showers.
Sigatoka/Coral Coast: It’s a game of partly cloudy with isolated showers in the mix for the afternoon or evening. Friday promises to be fine, apart from a few pesky isolated afternoon/evening showers.
Nadi/Lautoka/Ba: You guessed it—partly cloudy with those sneaky isolated showers in the afternoon or evening. Friday will maintain the same vibe, keeping it fine minus a few scattered shower guests.

Yasawa/Mamanuca Group: A classic case of partly cloudy with isolated afternoon or evening showers. Friday, however, may be a tad more generous, with fine weather and a sprinkle of possible isolated showers.
Labasa: Also looking at partly cloudy skies but with isolated afternoon or evening showers sneaking about. Friday will aim for that fine weather, only slightly disrupted by possible isolated showers.
Savusavu: Cloudy periods lead the charge with some showers joining the fun. Friday is a repeat of the theme—let’s keep those clouds and brief showers flowing.
Lau/Lomaiviti and Kadavu: Cloudy periods with showers are the names of the game, and Friday will keep that spirit alive with more clouds and brief showers.
