Weather Update
Good morning, fellow weather enthusiasts! As of this fine Friday morning, February 6, 2026, the skies have some serious plans for us. A heavy rain alert is out and about for Vanua Levu, Taveuni, and their petite island companions. Not to mention the Lau, Yasawa, Mamanuca, and quite the star-studded cast from the western and northern parts of Viti Levu – you might want to grab your umbrella and some floaties!
It turns out a rather slouchy trough of low pressure has settled in over Fiji, and it’s not in any rush to leave. But don’t fret! It’s expected to shuffle south by Saturday, which may allow some sunshine to peek through – just in time for your weekend plans!
The forecast leading up to midnight reveals a splash fest of occasional rain and a few thunderstorms. Think of it as Mother Nature’s way of throwing her own rain party! We can expect moderate southeast to northerly winds and seas that might rock the boat just a tad.
Here’s a sneak peek for Saturday: Expect a bit more rain and some isolated thunderstorms. But fear not, the rain will be easing down to showers from the north later in the day – kind of like a gentle reminder that sunny moments are just around the corner. Just a heads up: localised heavy falls could result in flash flooding, particularly in low-lying areas. So, it might be best to keep your flip-flops handy and avoid any unexpected swim lessons!
Now, let’s check out the predicted weather for some key locations:
– **Navua/Suva/Nausori**: A little rain and a couple of thunderstorms are likely, with temperatures bouncing between 24 and 30 degrees.
