Weather Update
Brought to you by the National Weather Forecasting Centre Nadi as of 7:30 pm on Sunday, March 30, 2025
Hold onto your hats, folks! A sneaky little trough of low pressure has decided to loom over Fiji, bringing along a cloud of mystery and a splash of showers that’s going to stick around for a few days. Think of it as uninvited weather party crashing your sunny plans!
For the next 24 hours, expect a blanket of clouds with some showers and the occasional thunderstorm joining in for dramatic effect. Isolated downpours might appear out of nowhere, and wouldn’t you know it—a severe thunderstorm is likely to arrive just in time for your afternoon coffee! If you’re in eastern Viti Levu (from Navua through Suva to Tailevu north) or the southern parts of Vanua Levu (including Cakaudrove and Southern Bua), be prepared for some intense rain that might just challenge your umbrella’s durability.
But beware! The persistent pour might lead to flash flooding in your favorite low-lying spots, so maybe skip the rubber boots and stick to your floaties if you can.
The winds are set to take it easy, blowing moderately from the southeast to southwest, and the seas will follow suit—moderate but definitely not ideal for deep-sea fishing!
Now, what can we expect for Tuesday? More clouds and showers across the interior and eastern areas, kind of like déjà vu but with a sprinkle of unpredictability from isolated thunderstorms. Meanwhile, the rest of you—light seekers—will enjoy generally fine conditions, with just a chance of some afternoon showers. Moderate southeast winds will persist, keeping things breezy.
