Weather Update
Issued from the National Weather Forecasting Centre Nadi at 7:30 PM on Thursday, October 16th, 2025
Here’s the scoop: a southeast wind is waltzing over the country like it owns the place, while a sneaky trough of low pressure is edging its way south from the north, planning to give those easterly winds a little pep in their step starting tomorrow.
Forecast until midnight tomorrow for the Fiji group: Expect a mixed bag of cloudiness with showers lurking around the Interior and eastern vistas of Viti Levu, from Serua-Namosi through Navua-Suva-Nausori up to Tailevu North, Southern Bua, and Cakaudrove (including the snazzy Taveuni). Don’t forget about Kadavu and the nearby smaller islands, as well as the Lau and Lomaiviti groups—basically, if you’re in the southeast quadrant, you might want to keep an umbrella handy! As we roll into later tomorrow, those showers might throw in the occasional heavy downpour and possibly a thunderstorm for dramatic effect—because who doesn’t love a little weather theatrics?
For everyone else? Fine and dandy, unless you run into a rogue afternoon or evening shower, which might throw a little rain on your parade, literally. Winds will be moderate from the southeast, freshening up at times, with seas looking moderately temperamental.
Looking ahead to Saturday: Prepare for those occasional showers with the dramatic flair of isolated heavy downpours and thunder in the Interior and eastern regions (didn’t I just say keep that umbrella handy?). The rest? Generally fine apart from the usual suspects: those pesky afternoon or evening showers and thunderstorms.
Now, breaking it down area by area:
For Navua / Suva / Nausori: Expect cloudy periods with some showers, ramping up to occasional heavy falls and maybe a thunderstorm later. Min: 22, Max: 29
