Weather Update from the National Weather Forecasting Centre Nadi, delivered with a sprinkle of humor at 3:30 pm on Sunday, January 18, 2026!
The heavy rain alert that had put the Northern Division, Yasawa and Mamanuca groups, and the Tavua to Rakiraki area in a soggy situation has been officially lifted. Go ahead, folks, break out the umbrellas and dance in the street – if you dare!
We’ve got a weak trough of low pressure hanging about like a guest who overstays their welcome, making sure to sprinkle some clouds and showers over the Fiji group. Meanwhile, a moist breeze from the north to northwest will keep things interesting – think of it as nature’s way of reminding you that hair products can only do so much.
Now, let’s see what the forecast has in store until the clock strikes midnight. Expect occasional showers over Sigatoka, Nadi, Lautoka, Ba, Tavua, Rakiraki, and the interior surfaces of Ba and Ra (even your kitchen might see some action). Also, expect some rain in far-flung areas like Bua, Labasa, and the neighboring islands. Cloudy periods will reign supreme in Lau and Lomaiviti – and who doesn’t love a good monochrome moment?
But don’t let the clouds fool you! Elsewhere, fine weather will tempt you, with the possibility of some cheeky afternoon or evening showers. And keep your eyes peeled for isolated thunderstorms – because who doesn’t enjoy a dramatic thunderclap occasionally? Just be mindful of those flash floods, especially in low-lying areas and small rivers, they can be party crashers.
