Weather Newsflash
Issued from the National Weather Forecasting Centre Nadi at 7:30 PM on Saturday, January 24, 2026
Hold onto your umbrellas, folks! A severe thunderstorm warning for heavy rain has been issued for the eastern parts of Viti Levu—specifically from Navua to Suva, street-racing through Nausori to Korovou, and heading all the way to Natadradave and Naitasiri.
What’s brewing? A sluggish trough of low pressure is shuffling around the western areas of Viti Levu, planning to relocate to the northeast of Fiji by the end of Sunday. Meanwhile, those west to southwest winds are having a little party across the Fiji group!
Here’s the juicy forecast until midnight tomorrow:
Today: Cars might need a snorkel as we expect cloudy periods along with showers and the occasional thunderstorm making a dramatic entrance this afternoon or evening. Keep an eye out for isolated heavy falls that could lead to flash flooding in low-lying areas—get ready to embrace your inner mermaid!
Tomorrow: The clouds are sticking around, bringing brief showers over most regions. Thunderstorms might decide to crash the party in the interior of Viti Levu and Vanua Levu. Winds will be moderate—just enough to tousle your hair a bit—while the seas remain fairly tranquil.
Looking ahead to Monday: If you’ve been dreaming of sunshine, your wish might just come true. Mostly fine weather is expected, although the interior regions of Vanua Levu, Taveuni, and a few nearby islands may experience some afternoon and evening visits from showers and thunderstorms. Watch out for local heavy rainfall bringing a splash of excitement to flood-prone areas!
