Weather Alert: It’s a breezy morning on Thursday, the 20th of November 2025, fresh from the National Weather Forecasting Centre in Nadi, and boy do we have a strong wind alert! If you’re in Lau, Lomaiviti, Kadavu, or Taveuni, hold onto your hats—literally—because the wind may just take them for a wild ride!
What’s going on? A weak little trough of low pressure is having a moment over the eastern parts of the country, while a moist northeasterly wind flow is like that friend who just can’t stop talking—it’s here and it’s everywhere!
So, what’s in store for our lovely Fiji group until midnight tonight? Expect some occasional showers with a side of heavy downpours and a sprinkle of thunderstorms over Serua-Namosi, Navua-Suva-Nausori, Tailevu, and various islands. Just think of it as Mother Nature’s way of saying, “Enjoy the free car wash!” But do watch out, localized heavy rains could lead to flash flooding in low-lying areas—so maybe skip the swim in the puddles.
Out east, Viti Levu and Vanua Levu may experience their fair share of afternoon or evening thunderstorms too. Fresh southeasterly winds will be blowing through, reminding you that “fresh” doesn’t mean “calm.” Waves might not be for the faint of heart either—moderate to rough seas ahead!
Now, let’s take a peek at Friday’s forecast. Prepare yourselves for strong southeast winds, kicking things up to 45 km/h in Lau, Lomaiviti, Kadavu, and Taveuni. Sounds like a windy adventure for any brave souls venturing out!
