Weather Update – Thursday, February 26, 2026
Listen up, everyone! Our favorite cloudy friend, the trough of low pressure, is making himself comfy to the southwest of Fiji and shuffling a bit westward. Meanwhile, another aspiring trough is having a party right over our islands, bringing along clouds and rain. It’s like the weather is hosting a little gathering and forgot to send out invitations to the sunshine.
So, what can we expect today across the delightful Fiji group? Well, brace yourselves for occasional showers, some of which might come down heavier than your cousin after a few too many drinks at a family gathering. We’re particularly looking at the interior and eastern parts of the larger islands—think Navua, Suva, Nausori, and a few more party crashers: Taveuni, the Lomaiviti group, Lau, Kadavu, Yasawa, and Mamanuca. You might even catch a thunderstorm trying to steal the spotlight in those areas!
Elsewhere, it’s mostly cloudy with some afternoon or evening showers popping up like uninvited guests. Watch for localized heavy falls, which might lead to a dash of flash flooding in low-lying areas. And if you’re out at sea, expect moderate to rough conditions.
Now, let’s give a quick peek into tomorrow—for Friday, it looks like more of the same, but with cloudy periods and some scattered showers, particularly over the interior and northeastern parts of the larger islands. The outlook remains grumpy with isolated heavy falls after it hears about today’s excitement.
