What’s brewing in the atmosphere? A pesky trough of low pressure is making its way toward our beautiful islands, ready to unleash clouds, showers, and potentially a bit of drama in the form of thunderstorms from tonight through Thursday. So get your rain boots and ponchos ready!
For those in Kadavu and the nearby small islands: Expect northerly winds to kick in later this evening at a breezy average of 45 km/hr with gusts hitting up to 55 km/hr. Hold onto your hats, folks!
As for the rest of Fiji, today will bring moderate to fresh northerly winds, with the possibility of gusts that would make your grandma’s hairdo flutter. Cloudy spells will linger, with some showers and the occasional thunderstorm making an appearance, especially for those in Serua-Namosi and surrounding regions.

Looking ahead to tomorrow: Kadavu and the adjoining islands can expect some spirited northwesterly winds and repetitive rain, while the rest of Fiji joins in for an encore of occasional heavy rain, mixed with some thunderstorms for good measure. Additionally, keep an eye on localised flash flooding in low-lying areas—your flip-flops might just become water shoes!
