Rotuma Remains Under Heavy Rain Warning as Fiji Forecasts Widespread Showers and Thunderstorms

Weather Alert

Good morning, weather watchers! As we step into this fine Saturday, November 29, 2025, we find ourselves under the whimsical influence of a low-pressure trough just to our east—like a surprise guest who overstays their welcome. This pesky trough has brought along a few clouds and showers, particularly bothering our friends in the eastern and northern parts of the country.

So, what’s on the menu for today?
Expect some occasional showers over Vanua Levu, Taveuni, and their tiny companions. Meanwhile, the Serua-Namosi, Navua-Suva-Nausori, Tailevu-Naitasiri-Ra, Kadavu, Lau, and Lomaiviti groups will experience some cloudy periods with a splash of showers. And yes, keep your umbrellas handy because isolated heavy downpours could pop up out of nowhere, like surprise party guests.

Elsewhere, we’ll enjoy a fine day with just the occasional cheeky afternoon or evening shower trying to crash the party. Winds will be moderate, dancing from the southeast to northwest, while seas take on a moderate demeanor.

Now, peeking into our Sunday crystal ball:

We’re looking at a fine day ahead, with only brief showers flirting with Serua-Namosi, Navua-Suva-Nausori, and the rest of the gang, including Taveuni and Kadavu. The serious stuff arrives in the form of afternoon or evening thunderstorms over Viti Levu—essentially nature’s way of saying, “Don’t forget your raincoat!”

Here’s a quick rundown for some regions:

– **Navua / Suva / Nausori**: Cloudy with some showers. Min 23, Max 30.
– **Sigatoka/Coral Coast**: Fine, aside from isolated afternoon or evening showers. Min 24, Max 30.
– **Nadi / Lautoka / Ba**: You’ll be fine, except for those pop-up afternoon or evening showers. Min 24, Max 33.
– **For the far-off lands of Yasawa/Mamanuca**: You’re in luck (mostly), but stay alert for those isolated afternoon or evening showers. Min 23, Max 31.

**Over in Rotuma**, things are a bit stormier with a heavy rain warning in effect. It’s like hosting a party with thunderstorms that just won’t leave. Expect occasional rain, some heavy enough to clear the dance floor, and a few exciting thunderstorms.

That’s the weather scoop for today! Just remember to enjoy the whimsical dance of clouds and sunshine and keep that umbrella close. Stay dry and have a great day, everyone!
