Weather Update from the National Weather Forecasting Centre, Nadi. Time: 7:10 AM on Wednesday, July 2, 2025.
Hold onto your hats, folks! A STRONG WIND WARNING is blowing through, specifically for our friends in Lau and Lomaiviti Group, Kadavu, and those charming little islands nearby! Taveuni, Yasawa, and the coastal dwellers of Rakiraki, Udu Point, and Southern Bua — you’re on this wind train, too.
So, what’s causing this gusty gossip? A high-pressure system way down south is channeling a robust southeasterly breeze across our beautiful islands. Expect wind speeds reaching up to 45 km/h, which might just give you a playful tussle in your hair or send your hat flying off into the next island.
As for Mother Nature’s forecast leading to midnight? Expect those strong southeast winds kicking in later today, while other areas will enjoy moderate to fresh breezes with occasional gusts—and maybe some wind-induced dance moves!
For the beach lovers out there, brace yourselves for rough seas. As for clouds, they’re planning to hang around with a few showers particularly over Serua-Namosi, Navua-Suva-Nausori, Tailevu-Naitasiri-Ra, Southern Bua, Cakaudrove, Kadavu, and of course, Taveuni and nearby islands. Rest assured, the sun will shine elsewhere, so no need to panic — it’ll still be cool at night for all!
Looking at Thursday, the forecast remains consistent: strong southeast winds up to 45 km/h for the same regions. Expect more clouds flirting with showers over the usual areas, while the rest of us can bask in mainly fine weather.
Now, let’s break this down by specific areas:
In Navua, Suva, and Nausori: Expect some clouds conspiring to drop a bit of rain. Cooler nights on the agenda—perfect for snuggling.
Nadi, Lautoka, and Ba: Great news! It’s mainly fine, and the cool nights will make the stars shine even brighter.
Coral Coast/Sigatoka: Just a little cloud cover with some showers, but we’re still cooler at night, perfect for a cozy gathering.
Tavua/Rakiraki: Brace for those southeast winds up to 45 km/h! Showers will make a guest appearance in Rakiraki while the rest of you enjoy fine weather, with cool nights ahead.
Natadradave/Korovou: It’s cloudy with a chance of showers meaning your umbrellas might be getting more use than usual. Again, cool nights are calling.
Yasawa/Mamanuca group: Hold onto your sunglasses, but expect those strong winds to stir things up! Mostly fine weather should keep your beach plans afloat, and cool nights will end your day nicely.
For Labasa: Fine weather will remain, so flaunt those shorts! Enjoy cool nights.
Savusavu: Cloudy days anticipated with some showers and those delightful cool nights to keep you from sweating it out.
For Lau and Lomaiviti Group, all the above still applies—strong southeast winds and cloudy periods with showers are on the horizon.
Kadavu, ready for a repeat? Winds of up to 45 km/h will rule your day, along with those oh-so-familiar clouds and showers. And yes, cool nights are still a thing.
Rotuma, dear islanders: the strong wind warning is still blowing your way, as east to southeast winds are making quite the ruckus. Rough seas and isolated thunderstorms may crash your sunny day party, but there’s comfort in knowing the forecast for Thursday calls for more clouds and showers.
So gear up, folks, whatever the weather decides to toss our way! Keep your spirits high, your hair in place, and stay safe!
