Weather Update: The Sky’s Mood Swings Edition
Just in from our friends at the National Weather Forecasting Centre, it looks like the Fiji group is in for a little emotional rollercoaster—thanks to a trough of low pressure that’s become a tad clingy, bringing along clouds and showers for the ride. The moist easterly winds are just adding to the drama, setting the stage for a weather spectacle.
So, here’s the deal: Expect occasional showers with the potential for some heavyweight downpours and thunderstorm tantrums over places like Vanua Levu, Taveuni, and a few of their closer neighbors, as well as the eastern parts of Viti Levu. Lau and Lomaiviti, you’re also on the guest list for this wet affair! Other regions can expect some cloudy moments peppered with afternoon or evening showers, plus those moody thunderstorms—because what’s a good day without some theatrics?
Caution: If those rains decide to go into overdrive, there’s a chance of flash flooding in low-lying areas, so keep your rain boots on standby! The winds will be moderately fresh, likely gusty in those more dramatic shower moments—definitely a wind-in-your-hair kind of day. And for all you seafarers, moderate to rough seas are on the agenda.
Now, peeking into Tuesday, expect the clouds to hang around a bit longer, with showers exerting their influence over eastern Viti Levu and nearby groups. The weather’s more like a moody artist than a steady painter, with some areas staying fine but still throwing in afternoon or evening showers to keep things interesting.

And so on for the rest of our beautiful islands. All signs point to a weather mood that can’t quite make up its mind, so make sure to pack that umbrella (and maybe a cozy sweater for the aftershock). Stay safe and keep smiling through those clouds!
