Weather Update – Issued from the National Weather Forecasting Centre in Nadi at 7:30 PM on Friday, April 4, 2025
Current Situation: A southeasterly breeze is sweeping through, like it’s auditioning for the role of “best supporting wind.”
Forecast until midnight tomorrow for the fabulous Fiji group:
The sky is putting on a gloomy show with clouds and scattered showers, especially over Serua-Namosi, Navua-Suva-Nausori, Tailevu, Naitasiri, Ra, Southern Bua, and Cakaudrove. It looks like an umbrella will be your best friend over there! Meanwhile, Lau, Lomaiviti, Kadavu, and the nearby smaller islands are expected to flaunt some sunshine, but don’t be fooled; a sprinkle or two may try to crash the party in the afternoon and evening.
For others, expect a mix of fine weather and the occasional shower and maybe a rogue thunderstorm or two—just to keep things exciting! Just a heads-up: those heavy afternoon showers could act like an overly enthusiastic party guest and cause flash flooding in low spots, so keep an eye out.
Wind-wise, it’ll be moderate to fresh from the southeast. And if you’re thinking of hitting the waves, brace yourself for moderate to rough seas – just in case you had visions of a leisurely boat ride.
Looking ahead to Sunday: More clouds and showers are in the forecast for the same regions—seriously, someone needs to tell the clouds they’re not the star of the show! But fear not: other spots will enjoy fine weather, with just a sprinkling of afternoon showers to shake things up. And the winds? They’ll take a mellow turn, coming in from the east.
Now, let’s break it down by area:
Navua / Suva / Nausori:
Prepare yourself for a cloudy atmosphere with some showers. A classic case of “just when you thought it was safe to go outside.”
Nadi / Lautoka / Ba:
A lovely fine day is on the agenda, but keep your picnic undercover, as afternoon showers and the occasional thunder grumble could make an appearance.
Sigatoka/Coral Coast:
Cloudy skies with a chance of showers is the theme. Brace yourself for the unpredictable Sunday weather!
Tavua/Rakiraki:
Cloudy with showers over Rakiraki, while the rest of the area may get lucky—just a few afternoon sprinkles and possible thunder to keep it dramatic.
Yasawa/Mamanuca group:
Expect clear skies except for a few mischievous afternoon showers and the odd thunderclap to keep you on your toes.
Labasa:
A generally fine scene, but keep those umbrellas close for potential afternoon showers and thunder!
Savusavu:
Prepare for a murky, cloudy day with some showers. Don’t forget your raincoat!
Lau/ Lomaiviti:
Fine weather with just a light shower possibly stealing the spotlight in the afternoon.
Kadavu:
Enjoy fine conditions with the chance of sneaky afternoon showers and a thunderstorm crashing the event.
Rotuma:
Currently dealing with a shy weak trough of low pressure. Expect cloudy patches with a side of showers and occasional thunderstorms—never a dull moment!
Looking ahead to Sunday across all areas: keep an umbrella handy, because showers will likely try to sneak in uninvited!
So, gear up with your light jackets and umbrellas, folks, and step outside with a smile—April weather in Fiji is perfectly unpredictable!
