Fiji Weather: Heavy Rain Alert for Northern Division, Lau and Lomaiviti as Trough Lingers

Weather Update
From the National Weather Forecasting Centre Nadi
Time of issue: 7:30pm, Monday, December 8, 2025

Hold onto your umbrellas, folks! A heavy rain alert is still doing the cha-cha for the Northern Division, Lau, and Lomaiviti groups. If you’ve ever wondered what it means to experience a wet and wild party, you’ll find out soon enough. For further details, make sure to check the Special Weather Bulletin on Heavy Rain at the National Weather Forecasting Centre’s website.

Here’s the scoop: A rather lazy trough of low pressure is hanging around over the country like that one friend who overstays their welcome. It’s expected to eventually drift east of Fiji, but not before gifting us with occasional showers and the potential for heavy falls and thunderstorms, especially in the eastern and northern parts through Wednesday.

Tonight’s forecast until the stroke of midnight is looking a bit soggy, with rain and the occasional dramatic thunderclap over Vanua Levu, Taveuni, and the surrounding smaller islands, along with Lau and the Lomaiviti group. But don’t fret! The rain should taper off to mere showers by tomorrow.

If you’re in Eastern Viti Levu (that’s Serua-Namosi, Navua-Suva-Nausori, Tailevu-Naitasiri-Ra provinces for those still trying to get a hang of geography), prepare for some watery fun with more isolated heavy falls and thunderstorms sprinkled in. The rest of us can look forward to sunshine, with just a sprinkling of shower drama in the afternoons or evenings.

Winds are coming in fresh from the northeast to southeast, which means moderate to rough seas—so maybe hold off on that kayaking adventure until further notice.

Outlook for Wednesday: Expect some showers and possibly a thunderstorm over Vanua Levu, Taveuni, and the surrounding islands. Eastern Viti Levu will wake up to cloudy skies and similar shower shenanigans. The rest of the country? Just a casual afternoon or evening sprinkle of showers—nothing too alarming!

Now, let’s break it down for the towns:

For Navua/Suva/Nausori: Showers with potential thunderstorms are on the agenda. Keep your raincoat close! Tomorrow’s min: 22, max: 30. Wednesday should be similar with a min of 21 and max of 30.

For Lau and Lomaiviti group: Heavy rain is the king here too, but tomorrow won’t be too intimidating. Tomorrow’s forecast? Min: 22, max: 30. Wednesday holds more of those surprise showers.

Kadavu dances in fine weather glory, only to be interrupted by sporadic afternoon showers and possible thunderstorms. Tomorrow’s min: 21, max: 30, and Wednesday feels similar.

Last but not least, Rotuma: The island is under a soft northeasterly wind vibe, with cloud and showers expected to start making waves from Wednesday onward. Tomorrow’s min: 24, max: 30, and Wednesday supports the occasional showers and isolated thunderstorms.
