Weather Update
From the National Weather Forecasting Centre Nadi

Here’s the scoop, folks! An east to southeast wind is currently gracing Fiji with its breezy presence, and it looks like we’ve got some high drama in the clouds! Brace yourselves, because a couple of pesky troughs of cloud and showers are gearing up to dance across Fiji – one is coming from the north on Friday, while the other is sneaking in from the south. Why can’t they just take a vacation together somewhere sunny?
If you’re in the Fiji group, get ready for a mix bag of weather leading up to midnight tomorrow! Expect those cloud-covered periods with occasional showers across the Serua-Namosi, Navua-Suva-Nausori, Tailevu-Naitasiri, Ra, Southern Bua, Cakaudrove, Kadavu, and the nearby little islands, Lau and Lomaiviti. The rest of you might just enjoy some delightful sunny moments.
Winds will be moderate, blowing east to southeast, and may even pick up a bit (cue the wind-swept hair situation). The seas could be moderate to rough, so if you were planning to become one with the waves, maybe think twice unless you’re a fan of a good splash!
Looking ahead to Friday: Expect those occasional showers with a chance of heavy downpours in the same areas mentioned before—so pack your umbrellas if you don’t fancy being unexpectedly showered! The rest of us might stay pretty fine but should prepare for some brief afternoon or evening sprinkles. And don’t forget to cozy up at night because it’s going to get cool!
Let’s break it down by region:
For Navua / Suva / Nausori: Cloudy with some possible showers. Friday calls for occasional showers and a cool night.
For Sigatoka/Coral Coast: Mainly fine and lovely! Friday stays just as charming, possibly with a brief sprinkle in the afternoon.
For Nadi / Lautoka / Ba: Enjoy the sunshine with just a hint of evening shower potential. Friday looks to follow suit!
For Tavua/Rakiraki: Fine weather prevails, with Friday promising the same sunny charm.
For Natadradave/Korovou: Expect some clouds with showers to sneak in. Friday leans towards occasional showers.
For Yasawa/Mamanuca group: Mostly fine, just keep an eye open for those brief showers popping up!
For Labasa: Fine is the word of the day! But brace for some potential afternoon sprinkles on Friday.
For Savusavu: Mostly cloudy with a chance of showers on the horizon. Friday has the occasional showers in store.
For Lau/ Lomaiviti: The clouds are hanging around with some showers. Friday looks like it’s joining the party with potential heavy falls.
For Kadavu: More cloudy periods with showers are expected, so keep your rain gear handy. Friday won’t disappoint with more occasional showers!
For Rotuma: A weak trough is sticking around, so it’s looking to be cloudy with sporadic showers and possibly a thunderstorm or two joining the mix.
So there you have it! Get ready for a pretty entertaining weather week ahead in the beautiful islands of Fiji.
