Weather Update
Issued from the National Weather Forecasting Centre Nadi
at 10:45 am on Thursday the 19th of February 2026
The current situation is that a northeast wind flow is playing tag over our beautiful islands. Expect a game change as the winds decide to switch to a southeasterly direction a little later today. A wispy weak trough of low pressure, as shy as a cat hiding from a vacuum cleaner, will also be making its appearance over the southern and eastern parts of the group tomorrow.
Forecast for the Fiji group until midnight tomorrow:
Today:
It looks like fine weather is hanging out in most areas, but don’t be surprised if it throws in a few brief showers, particularly over the interior and eastern parts of our larger islands—nature’s way of keeping us on our toes! Isolated afternoon or evening showers and the occasional thunderclap may crash the party in Viti Levu and Vanua Levu, especially in the southern sections.
Tomorrow:
Cloudy periods will step up their game with some light showers pirouetting around Serua-Namosi, Navua-Suva-Nausori, and other areas. But worry not, fine weather will still flirt with the rest of the group, just with a sprinkle of isolated afternoon or evening showers, and yes, we can’t rule out the dramatic entrance of isolated thunderstorms. Moderate northeast winds will gracefully ballet into southeasterly later today, while moderate seas look to keep their cool.
Outlook for Saturday:
Get ready for more of those cloudy periods gracing Kadavu and its close companions, with brief showers rearing their heads over various areas. But don’t forget, fine weather will still be chilling elsewhere while waiting for those cheeky afternoon or evening showers to make a cameo!
