Weather Update from the National Weather Forecasting Centre in Nadi
Attention, weather enthusiasts! At the crack of dawn this Saturday, May 24, 2025, a bit of a moody trough of low pressure decided to hang out with us in the Fiji group until Sunday. That’s right, Mother Nature’s throwing a little rain party, and you’re all invited—though it might be a bit gray and drizzly.
Today’s forecast promises occasional rain and some heavy downpours, particularly for areas like Serua-Namosi, Navua-Suva-Nausori, Tailevu-Naitasiri, Ra, Southern Bua, Cakaudrove, Kadavu, and those charming nearby islands. So, grab your umbrellas and don’t forget the galoshes!
Over on Yasawa, Sigatoka, and the rest of Vanua Levu, cloudiness reigns supreme with showers on the guest list. It’s a typical afternoon tea affair with a chance of light showers, rolling into the evening like a guest who just won’t leave.
Moderate easterly winds are blowing through, keeping things refreshingly breezy, while the seas can get a bit rowdy. You might want to think twice before trying to surf—unless you’ve been practicing your “flop like a fish” skills.
As for tomorrow, expect some scattered showers in the usual suspects: Serua-Namosi, Navua-Suva-Nausori, Tailevu-Naitasiri, Ra, Southern Bua, Cakaudrove, and nearby islands. But don’t worry, the rest of Fiji might just enjoy some sunshine—let’s hope they don’t rub it in too much!
Now, a more localized breakdown for select regions:
Navua/Suva/Nausori: Rain is your uninvited guest, with potential heavy falls joining the party. Sunday looks a bit lighter with just some showers and cooler nights ahead.
Sigatoka/Coral Coast: The clouds are coming out to play, bringing showers along. Don’t pack away those raincoats yet—some more showers are in the Sunday forecast followed by a cool evening.
Nadi/Lautoka/Ba: Cloudiness with a side of showers, especially in the afternoon. Sunday looks fine, apart from a couple of shy showers sneaking in at dusk. Expect cooler nights once the sun hangs up its hat.
Tavua/Rakiraki: Occasional rain is expected, especially over Rakiraki, while everyone else enjoys a mostly sunny day with some evening showers popping up. You guessed it—cool nights are on the agenda.
Natadradave/Korovou: Similar to a playlist on repeat, we’ve got occasional rain and the forecast for Sunday sports some more showers, with cooler nights ahead.
Yasawa/Mamanuca group: The clouds are playing host, bringing showers and cool temperatures to your evening plans. Sunday promises a bit of sunshine with an occasional afternoon shower surprise.
Labasa: Cloudy conditions and showers are in the forecast, but don’t despair! Fine weather is on the way for Sunday, with only a few evening sprinkles expected, and those cool nights will stick around.
Savusavu: Occasional rain, including some lively heavy showers. Sunday will see a continuation of that with showers lingering late into the night.
Lau/Lomaiviti: Occasional heavy rain will be featured. Sundays offer a mix of showers, so stay cozy—it’ll be cool!
Kadavu: Prepare for some rain drama as heavy falls make an appearance. We’ll get a slight reprieve on Sunday with some light showers.
Rotuma, you have your own weather saga! A slow-moving trough has stationed itself near you, bringing occasional showers (and don’t forget the loud heavy ones) along with some friendly thunderstorms. The east to southeast winds are moderating, and drafty seas are in the forecast as well.
That wraps up today’s exciting weather bulletin. Enjoy your umbrella-toting adventures, and don’t let the rain put a damper on your plans!
