Weather Update
Good day, weather watchers! Here’s the scoop straight from the National Weather Forecasting Centre, as of 10:45 AM on April 4, 2025.
First up, let’s pop the confetti! The heavy rain alert for the eastern side of Viti Levu, which had us all running for our umbrellas, is officially canceled. Yes, my friends, you can put those raincoats away for the time being!
Now, about the weather: A charming weak trough of low pressure seems to be taking a slow exit. Meanwhile, we’ve got some nice southeasterly winds flowing in, so hang on to your hats!
Here’s what you can expect for today and until midnight tomorrow in the Fiji group:
It’s going to be quite cloudy over Serua-Namosi, Navua-Suva-Nausori, Tailevu, Naitasiri, Ra, Southern Bua, and Cakaudrove with a sprinkle of rain – think of it as nature’s way of adding some moisture to the day. The Lau and Lomaiviti groups, plus Kadavu and little islands nearby, will enjoy a mostly fine experience but expect a few afternoon or evening showers to crash the party.
Elsewhere? Fine weather mostly reigns, but stay alert for those cheeky afternoon showers and the occasional dramatic thunderstorm – because what’s a good day without a little bit of flair, right? Just a friendly reminder: localised heavy falls may lead to flash flooding in low-lying areas, so keep your floaties handy!
The winds will be moderate to fresh and the seas are moderate to rough – not exactly a sailing day unless you enjoy some thrills!
Now, what does the crystal ball reveal for Sunday? A return to cloudy times with showers across several regions: Serua-Namosi, Navua, Suva, Nausori, Tailevu, Naitasiri, Ra, Southern Bua, Cakaudrove, Lau, Lomaiviti, Kadavu, and their neighboring islands. But don’t worry, the rest will remain mostly fine with brief afternoon or evening showers cheering us on!
Here’s the breakdown for specific areas:
Navua/Suva/Nausori: Cloudy with some showers rolling in. Sunday’s forecast? You guessed it—more clouds and showers!
Nadi/Lautoka/Ba: Fine for now, apart from some cheeky afternoon or evening surprises in the form of rain or thunderstorms. Sunday keeps it consistent—mostly fine but watch out for brief showers.
