Weather Update
Good morning, fellow weather watchers! Buckle up your umbrellas because we’ve got quite the atmospheric show scheduled for today, Sunday, November 23, 2025, straight from the National Weather Forecasting Centre in Nadi.
First things first: if you’re in the Southern Lau group, don’t forget to hold onto your hats because a strong wind warning is still in effect! Fortunately, the rest of the Lau group can breathe a little easier as the winds have decided to take a holiday.
A heavy rain alert is drenching the eastern half of Viti Levu, covering the culinary delights from Serua-Namosi through to Navua-Suva-Nausori and beyond, all the way to the beautiful Kadavu and those charming little islands nearby. Make sure to carry your trusty umbrella—preferably one that can withstand a downpour and perhaps a few high-flying coconuts.
So, what’s the situation? A shallow low pressure system is rolling in, dragging along with it a festivity of moisture that will shower down upon us in the form of heavy rain and thunder. It’s like Mother Nature is hosting her own water park, and everyone’s invited!
As for today’s forecast? Expect occasional rain and intermittent heavy downpours along with some lovely thunderstorms for many areas, including Serua-Namosi, Navua-Suva-Nausori, and a smattering of nearby smaller islands. Outside these zones, cloudy skies will be complemented by some showers and localized heavy rainfall; you might just want to keep a canoe handy in case of flash flooding!
For those living in the Southern Lau group, winds will be gusting up to 45 km/hr—perfect weather for pretending you’re a kite! And while the rest of the country might enjoy a moderate breeze, don’t let your guard down; some areas will still see rough seas.
Looking ahead to Monday, more rain (who would have guessed?) is in the cards, with thunderstorms adding a touch of drama to your day. Strong winds will keep the excitement alive, and seas might get a bit bumpy.
Here’s a sneak peek into what each region has in store:
– Navua/Suva/Nausori: Prepare for occasional rain today with a potential splash zone from heavy falls and thunderstorms. Tomorrow’s forecast features a mix of showers with temperatures cozying between 23°C and 28°C.
– Sigatoka/Coral Coast: Today’s cloudy conditions invite a few afternoon or evening showers. Expect similar blessings tomorrow with a high of 28°C.
– Nadi/Lautoka/Ba: Those afternoon showers will likely keep you company, peaking at 31°C. Tomorrow’s forecast? Similar wet company!
– For the Yasawa/Mamanuca group and other northern regions: Cloudy periods likely will take a dive into a rain-soaked adventure by tomorrow, reaching a high of 29°C.
– And for the adventurous souls on Rotuma: Batten down the hatches as heavy rain alerts roll in with gusty winds testing your umbrella’s resilience. Expect a moody Monday with squally thunderstorms!
So there you have it, a meteorological rollercoaster for the weekend and beyond! Keep your spirits high and your umbrellas handy!
