Weather Report
Issued from the National Weather Forecasting Centre Nadi at 3:30 pm on Monday, the 12th of May 2025
Grab your hats and hold on to your umbrellas, folks! A STRONG WIND WARNING is blowing through the Northern Division, Kadavu, and nearby smaller islands, as well as the Lau and Lomaiviti groups. And watch your head because that heavy rain warning has been downgraded to an alert for the Northern Division, Lau, and Lomaiviti. It seems like the clouds are finally getting the hint and moving away from us.
Let’s break it down:
Today, prepare for some strong northwesterly to southerly winds that could whip up to 55 km/hr, with gusts reaching a dramatic 65 km/hr. Those in Kadavu and the nearby islands should probably secure your hats and make sure your windows are tightly closed! In other places, expect moderate to fresh southerly winds, with the occasional puff that could ruffle a few feathers or disturb a quiet nap.
The sea is going to be rough—so rough, in fact, that it might feel like a wild ride on a carnival attraction. Keep an eye out for occasional rain, and yes, we’re talking heavy rain at times with isolated thunderstorms in the mix over the Northern Division, Lau, and Lomaiviti. But don’t worry; it’ll transition from deluge to showers later tonight, so keep your floaties handy!
As for those in Nadroga-Navosa, Serua-Namosi, Navua-Suva-Nausori, and Tailevu-Naitasiri, expect cloudy periods with a sprinkle of showers. Picture grey clouds hugging your plans, along with some isolated heavy falls. But don’t despair; it’s cool at night, perfect for snuggling up with a good book… or a hot drink!
Now, on to tomorrow’s forecast: Let’s swing to some south to southeast winds, speeding up to 45 km/hr. Expect more cloudy periods with brief showers over various regions, including Ra and the Southern Bua, while other areas might enjoy some calm. But trust us; it’s still cool at night, which is great for those nighttime cozy vibes.
Looking toward Wednesday, the forecast keeps it cloudy with more brief showers sprinkled in across many regions. Just a friendly reminder that it’s still a tad cool at night!

– **Navua / Suva / Nausori**: Clouds will be your companion today with some showers rolling through. Cool nights ahead!
