Fiji Weather Update: Eastern Regions Face Showers, Heavy Rain and Flood Risk From Low-Pressure Trough

Weather Update

Attention, dear Fijians! The weather gods have conspired to keep us on our toes, and here’s the lowdown as of 3:30 PM on Saturday, January 3rd, 2026. A pesky trough of low pressure is still looming over the eastern regions, showering us with its attention (and a bit more rain than we might appreciate). Meanwhile, we’re riding a mild southerly to northeasterly wind flow across our beautiful islands.

So, what can you expect before midnight tomorrow across the Fiji group? Well, it looks like our friends in Serua-Namosi, Navua-Suva-Nausori, Tailevu-Naitasiri-Ra, Southern Bua, Cakaudrove, Taveuni, and their trusty smaller islands will be dealing with some tricky showers, including the occasional downpour that might just leave you wishing for a boat instead of your car (flash flooding watch, anyone?). As for Sigatoka-Korolevu, expect a few clouds hanging around like that one friend who won’t leave the party, but they’ll bring some showers, so don’t forget to keep your umbrella handy!

Now for the weather showdown on Monday: it seems we’re still in for a bit of action with those occasional showers and heavy falls, especially in the same regions. But all is not lost! Elsewhere, you may enjoy a decent day with just a few isolated afternoon or evening showers or even a flamboyant thunderstorm.
