Weather Update for Adventurous Souls
Issued at 7:30 pm on Sunday, November 23, 2025
Buckle up, folks! The weather department is dishing out a heads-up that things are getting a bit blustery. A STRONG WIND WARNING is in effect for the land areas of Macuata, Northern Bua, Cikobia, Taveuni, Lau, and Lomaiviti groups. So hold onto your hats—literally!
And if you thought the winds were the only drama, think again! A HEAVY RAIN WARNING is swirling around the entire Fiji group. It appears that Mother Nature has decided to throw a wet party, and everyone’s invited. For all the juicy details, don’t forget to check out our Special Weather Bulletin at the National Weather Forecasting Centre.
Why is this all happening, you ask? Well, there’s an active trough of low pressure gracing us with clouds, showers, and, of course, rain in the coming days.
Forecast till midnight tomorrow:
Today: Prepare for an array of rain, with occasional heavy downpours shouting, “Surprise!” and the odd thunderstorm adding a dramatic flair. Localised heavy falls could cause some cheeky flash flooding in low-lying areas. We have moderate to fresh northwesterly winds—which means it’s perfect weather for those who want to challenge their umbrellas.
Tomorrow: The wind will transform into a strong northwesterly beast, blasting through Lau and Lomaiviti groups with gusts reaching up to 45 km/hr. It’s going to be a day where your kite might just take flight while you stand still! Brace yourself for more rain and the possibility of thunderstorms doing their best impression of a rock concert.
Tuesday looks like it’ll turn out similar, with clouds throwing shade all day and thunderstorm singers belting out loud tunes. There’s a chance your coffee could get unexpectedly refreshed, though, with localised heavy falls potentially causing flash floods.
The forecast fun continues around the different locales:
For Navua / Suva / Nausori:
Today: Occasional rain with surprise heavy falls and some light thunder.
Tomorrow: Expect more of the same with hitters like Min: 23, Max: 28.
For the Coral Coast:
Today: Occasional rain will keep you company, along with the odd thunderstorm.
Tomorrow: Repeat, rinse, and expect a little heavier rain. Min: 23, Max: 29.
For Nadi / Lautoka / Ba:
Today: Bring on the occasional rain and thunderstorms.
Tomorrow: Same cozy weather. Min: 23, Max: 30.
And for our lovely islands:
From Yasawa to Taveuni, enjoy occasional rain with some fireworks (thunderstorms) this evening.
For Rotuma:
It’s a heavy rain showdown with strong winds. Get ready for adventurous sails and long hair tossing moments!
So, in summary folks, if you happen to be stepping out, remember to pack your raincoat, your flip-flops, and possibly a light snack—you might just need a little pick-me-up while you wait out the weather shenanigans. Stay safe and enjoy the wild!
