Weather Bulletin
Issued from the National Weather Forecasting Centre Nadi at 3:30pm on Thursday, October 16, 2025
Situation: Buckle up, folks! A southeast wind flow is blowing through the country, just like that friend who always shows up uninvited but somehow makes the party livelier. Meanwhile, a cheeky trough of low pressure to the north is planning to drift southward to embellish our easterlies—think of it like an unexpected plot twist in your favorite telenovela.
Forecast to midnight tomorrow for the Fiji group: Expect some cloudy periods and a sprinkle of showers in the Interior and eastern parts of Viti Levu (that’s the area all the cool kids hang out: from Serua-Namosi through Navua-Suva-Nausori up to Tailevu North), Southern Bua, Cakaudrove (including Taveuni and nearby smaller islands), Kadavu and its tiny companions, and the Lau and Lomaiviti groups. Showers might play hard to get, so be ready for them to occur occasionally, especially with the potential for isolated heavy downpours and maybe even a thunderstorm later tomorrow! Because why not?
Elsewhere, it’s looking fine, with just the chance of some isolated afternoon or evening showers, possibly on the sassy side with a thunderstorm. Moderate southeast winds will keep things cool, sometimes picking up like a well-known DJ at a club, and seas are moderate, ideally for those wanting to feel the splash while avoiding a muddy splash.
Outlook for Saturday: More of the same! Occasional showers with a chance of isolated heavy downpours and possible thunderstorms in the Interior and eastern parts of Viti Levu, along with Southern Bua, Cakaudrove, Kadavu, Lau, and Lomaiviti. The rest of you can enjoy fine weather with potential afternoon or evening showers and maybe a thunderstorm to keep things interesting. Winds will be moderate, and seas may become moderate to rough—think of it as a rollercoaster ride!
