Weather Update
Hello, sunny souls of Fiji! It seems we’ve got quite the weather circus coming to town, as a weak little trough of low pressure is hovering around like that awkward friend who just won’t leave the party. This shy system is slinking across the islands, bringing with it a mix of clouds, showers, and a hint of thunder – because who doesn’t love a dramatic flair?
So, what’s on the forecast menu until midnight tomorrow? Expect cloudy days with a side of showers, and don’t be surprised if a few thunderstorms crash the scene. Some spots might even get a heavy downpour, kind of like Mother Nature spilling her drink all over the place! The interior and eastern parts of Viti Levu (think Navua through Suva to Tailevu north) and Vanua Levu (hello, Cakaudrove and Southern Bua!) should keep an eye out for severe thunderstorms later in the afternoon or evening. And fair warning—those intense storms might lead to some flash flooding, so keep those umbrellas at the ready!
As for the winds, they’ll be modestly blowing southeast to southwest, while the seas maintain a moderate temperament—nothing too wild, but enough to keep the fishermen on their toes.
Looking ahead to Tuesday, the cloud and shower shenanigans continue for the interior and eastern parts of Viti Levu, as well as Vanua Levu, Lau, and Lomaiviti groups. Don’t worry, though—most of the rest will bask in fine weather aside from the typical afternoon or evening sprinkle of the unexpected, along with the occasional clap of thunder.
Now, let’s break it down for a few specific areas:
Navua / Suva / Nausori: Cloudy with showers and a few thunderous interruptions expected. Heavy falls are hardly shy here as they might just decide to crash in the afternoon or evening—everyone loves a surprise, right?
Nadi / Lautoka / Ba: Expect the clouds to hang around with showers and the same thunderstorm energy. Those isolated heavy falls are on the watch list, but look ahead to Tuesday for a fine finish, just with a few light sprinkles as the day rolls to a close.
Sigatoka / Coral Coast: You guessed it—cloudy with some showers and thunderstorms in attendance. The same outlook continues for Tuesday.
Tavua / Rakiraki: You’ll be seeing cloudy periods too, with showers and a few thunderstorm guests expected to drop by. A fine Tuesday awaits, just watch out for some afternoon drizzles.
Yasawa / Mamanuca group: Cloudy skies with showers and the occasional thunderstorm to keep things lively. The Tuesday forecast sees the cloudiness continue.

Lau / Lomaiviti / Kadavu: Yep, you guessed it—clouds, showers, and the thrilling unpredictability of thunderstorms across the board. Looks like Tuesday doubles down on the cloudiness.
