Trough of Low Pressure Brings Widespread Showers and Thunderstorms to Fiji with Heavy Rain and Flood Risk

Weather Bulletin – Your Forecast with a Splash of Humor!

Good morning, fellow weather-watchers! Buckle up because this forecast is a little bumpy—just like your favorite local road after a good rain!

Issued from the National Weather Forecasting Centre in Nadi at 5:30am on Sunday, October 19, 2025, here’s what’s gracing our skies: a rather moody trough of low pressure accompanied by clouds and showers is drifting south and decided to join the Fiji party for the next few days. Meanwhile, an east to southeast wind is sweeping through, hoping to score some cool breezes and maybe engage in a friendly game of “tag” with the clouds.

As we look ahead to midnight tonight for the Fiji group, prepare for occasional showers that could potentially turn into isolated thunderstorms—like that one friend who always brings the mood down with their drama! We’re expecting heavy downpours over Vanua Levu, Taveuni, and the Yasawa group, so keep your umbrellas handy and your paddling skills ready!

The interior and eastern parts of Viti Levu, from Sigatoka-Korolevu to Suva, are also in for a treat with cloudy periods and possible afternoon (or evening) showers. Word on the street is that thunder may even join the fun. Just a heads-up: isolated heavy falls can lead to flash flooding, which is not the type of water sport we recommend.

Elsewhere, expect partly cloudy skies with some afternoon or evening showers and the usual spunky thunderstorms hoping to steal the spotlight. Winds will be moderate to fresh, and the seas are moderating to a rough patch, perfect for that adventurous spirit!

Now, for your local regions:
– **Navua/Suva/Nausori:** A cozy mix of clouds and showers with the potential for some dramatic thunderstorms tonight.
– **Nadi/Lautoka/Ba:** You may have to dodge some afternoon showers this week, but don’t worry; they’ll probably just be flirting with you!
– **Sigatoka/Coral Coast:** Expect a rocky romance with showers and possible heavy falls later. Keep an eye on those clouds!
– **Tavua/Rakiraki:** Partly cloudy with a chance of a dramatic afternoon or evening shakedown from the thunderstorms.
– **Natadradave/Korovou:** Watch out for showers that might throw a surprise party later today!
– **Yasawa/Mamanuca group:** The Yasawas are playing host to a few sassy showers this week, don’t let them rain on your parade!
– **Labasa:** Expect a few showers that might get heavy and a little rambunctious—thunderstorm included!
– **Savusavu/Nabouwalu:** A day of occasional showers and a chance to impress with some serious thunder.
– **Taveuni:** Rainy drops are in full swing with thunderstorms for your amusement!

And for those hoping for sun: Keep dreaming, my friends.

As we look to Monday, it appears the skies are still playing hard to get with occasional showers and thunderstorms. It seems like no matter where you are—from the bustling coasts to the tranquil islands—you might want to keep those raincoats on standby!

Stay dry and chuckle through the clouds; rain or shine, we always make it a little fun!
