Weather Bulletin

Issued from the National Weather Forecasting Centre Nadi at 3:30pm on Sunday, January 26, 2025

Hold onto your sun hats, folks! An easterly wind flow is sweeping through our beautiful islands, bringing with it a friendly neighborhood trough of low pressure lurking to the west of Fiji. This little atmospheric mischief-maker is set to pay us a visit tomorrow and throw a damp sponge at our sunny plans on Tuesday.

Forecast until midnight tomorrow for the Fiji group:

In the lovely Navua-Suva-Nausori, Tailevu-Ra-Naitasiri areas, eastern Macuata, Cakaudrove, Kadavu, Taveuni, and those charming nearby little islands, you can expect cloudy periods with a sprinkling of showers. Prepare for those showers to get a bit more casual, as they morph into occasional droplets starting tomorrow!

For the rest of Fiji, you can anticipate fine weather, but be on your toes for those sneaky afternoon and evening showers or the occasional thunderstorm. Yes, isolated heavy falls are on the guest list, so if you see clouds behaving shifty, grab your umbrella!

It’s going to feel like we’re in a sauna, with maximum temperatures climbing to a sizzling 31-34 degrees Celsius starting tomorrow. Don’t forget to hydrate, because nothing says “tropical paradise” like hot and humid conditions!

Moderate easterly winds will be the breeze you didn’t know you needed, before turning northeasterly tomorrow. However, keep an eye out for gusty winds crashing through during those heavy showers and thunderstorms—like an uninvited party crasher!

Outlook for Tuesday: Will the occasional rain and a sprinkle of thunderstorms become the star of the show later on Monday? The forecast says yes! Expect moderate east to northerly winds and seas that are moderate, perfect for not surfing too wildly.

Now, let’s break it down for the specific areas:

For Navua / Suva / Nausori: A lovely cloudy affair with some showers ready to pop in and out. Get used to occasional shower surprises from tomorrow.

For Nadi / Lautoka / Ba: Fine weather might trick you, but then those afternoon or evening showers and thunderstorms will decide to crash the party—with isolated heavy falls adding to the drama!

For Sigatoka/Coral Coast: Same story—fine weather with sneaky showers and thunderstorms on the horizon. Get your rain dance ready for isolated heavy falls!

For Tavua/Rakiraki: Expect a touch of cloudiness with some showers; Rakiraki may feel a bit moody, while other areas stay fine. Occasional showers are on the menu for tomorrow!

For Yasawa/Mamanuca group: Get ready for fine weather with a hint of afternoon and evening showers and the occasional thunderclap. Heavy falls might be taking a stroll!

And finally, for Rotuma: It looks like a trough of low pressure is planning to hang out, bringing cloudy skies with some showers and a couple of isolated thunderstorms. Moderate easterly winds might give you a friendly shove!

Outlook for Tuesday: Expect more cloudy periods with showers wanting in on the fun and isolated thunderstorms looking to spice things up!

Stay tuned, stay dry, and don’t forget your umbrellas if you plan to dance in the rain!
