Issued from the National Weather Forecasting Centre Nadi at 3:30 PM on Sunday, February 22, 2026.
Listen up, weather enthusiasts! The southeast winds are back in town, blowing into Fiji like they own the place. But they’ve brought a plus one—a slow-moving trough of low pressure—turning today into a cloud party particularly in the southern and eastern parts of our gorgeous islands. The clouds look like they might hang out a bit longer, but don’t worry, there’s more weather drama coming our way with another trough that plans to crash the northern party starting Monday.
So, what’s on the forecast agenda until midnight tomorrow for the Fiji group?
– **For Kadavu and nearby islands**: Prepare for occasional showers that might tempt you to grab an umbrella, along with some impressive isolated thunderstorms. The heavens could open up and bless you with heavy downpours, so wear your cutest rain boots!
– **Over Lomaiviti and the rest of Lau**: Expect a gloomy yet captivating mix with cloudy periods and possibly some thunder to keep things exciting. Isolated thunderstorms could put on a show, lighten up your day—literally!
– **From Sigatoka to Nausori**: Cloudy periods with brief showers are the trend. Isolated thunderstorms could crash your afternoon barbeque plans, but hey, at least the rain will help your plants flourish!
– **For the rest of you**: Generally fine, except for a cheeky afternoon or evening shower. You might even want to brace for the occasional thunderclap that might just startle your cat!
Tomorrow’s temperatures will have you feeling toasty, with a minimum of 25°C and a luxurious maximum of 32°C.
Now, let’s peek at Tuesday. Occasional showers and the occasional tempest are on the horizon, especially in the Northern Bua, Macuata, Cakaudrove, and Taveuni. Brief rainfall may decorate the sky elsewhere, but hold onto your hats; isolated heavy falls are possible.
