Weather Update from the National Weather Forecasting Centre Nadi
issued on Friday evening, January 9, 2026
Good evening, sunshine lovers and occasional rain dancers! Here’s the scoop on our rather moody weather.
Right now, we’ve got a slow-moving trough of low pressure lounging just southwest of Fiji, like that one friend who always shows up uninvited. This quirky weather system is tossing clouds and showers towards the western and southern parts of our lovely islands, and it’s planning to spread some vibes elsewhere over the next few days. Buckle up, folks!
Forecast for tomorrow through midnight:
Be prepared for occasional showers and a few scattered thunderstorms – think of them as nature’s way of throwing a surprise party! Kadavu, along with its smaller island pals and the southern Lau group, can expect some heavy downpours. Most other places will be cloudy, with showers popping up like uninvited guests in the afternoon or evening. And beware: those isolated thunderstorms might get a bit rowdy, leading to flash floods in low-lying areas. You might want to rethink that picnic plan!
As for the winds, expect moderate to fresh breezes from the east-northeast, possibly gusting at times to keep things spicy. Seas will be moderate, so don’t get too carried away on that surfboard!
Sunday Outlook:
Get ready for a bit of rain on Sunday over Navua, Suva, Nausori, and a few other provinces. It’ll be like a fun rain dance party! Everywhere else, enjoy some fine weather, though the afternoon or evening might bring a few more showers. And yes, those isolated thunderstorms might still crash the party leading to flash floods in low-lying areas.
Now, let’s break it down for you location by location, with an extra dash of humor:
