Weather Update!
Issued by the National Weather Forecasting Centre Nadi at 10:45 am, Sunday, March 2nd, 2025.
Hold on to your umbrellas, folks! A heavy rain warning is still in effect for the oceanic beauty spots of Western, Northern, and interior Viti Levu and Vanua Levu, as well as the Yasawa and Mamanuca groups, Kadavu, and the nearby small islands. It’s like the clouds had a party and forgot to invite the sunshine! The rest of Fiji is on alert for heavy rains too—so, don’t pack away those raincoats just yet!
What’s cooking in the weather kitchen? An active trough of low pressure is causing some unusual shenanigans with clouds and rain. The northwest winds are having a blast and are expected to spread this soggy situation eastward across the islands until Tuesday. So, grab your water shoes; we might have some puddle-jumping ahead!
The forecast until midnight tomorrow looks like this: Occasional rain making a grand entrance, and at times, it’ll be heavy—like the clouds are trying to show off. Watch out for potentially rowdy thunderstorms over spots like Greater Nadi, Lautoka, Ba, Tavua, and beyond. With all this rain, we might just create a swimming pool in your backyard. Flash flooding in low-lying areas is possible, so keep your floaties handy. Rain should lighten up from the west later today; the east will follow suit by Tuesday. A little wind will keep things exciting— gusty in those areas where it’s pouring. The seas will be moderately rough, so brace yourselves if you’re heading out!
For the rest of the Fiji group: Expect some occasional rain, with a few thunderstorms wanting to join the mix. Isolated heavy falls are likely, especially in the afternoons and evenings—basically, just another day in paradise that may require some creative planning around outdoor activities. The rains will be ramping up tomorrow, so stay tuned!
Looking ahead to Tuesday: Rain will stick around, with some heavy bursts making surprise appearances. So, if you’re developing a flair for rain choreography, this will be your chance to shine!
