A slow-moving trough of low pressure is currently over the Fiji Group, bringing cloudy skies and heavy rainfall. According to the Fiji Meteorological Service, this trough is gradually shifting eastward and is expected to impact the region with showers throughout the day.
Areas including Suva, Nausori, Tailevu, Sigatoka, the Coral Coast, the interior regions of Ra-Rakiraki, Naitasiri, Serua, Namosi, Lau, and the Lomaiviti Group are likely to experience occasional showers. Furthermore, the forecast indicates that conditions may lead to localized heavy rainfall, which poses a risk of flash flooding in low-lying and flood-prone areas.
Looking ahead to Sunday, the outlook suggests continued cloudy periods with showers expected over greater Suva, Nausori, and Tailevu, as well as the interior areas of Ra-Rakiraki, Naitasiri, and Serua-Namosi. While conditions will be mild elsewhere, isolated afternoon or evening showers shouldn’t be ruled out.
This weather situation reminds us of the importance of preparedness, especially for those living in flood-prone areas. Residents are encouraged to stay informed about weather updates and take necessary precautions.
In summary, while heavy rain across Fiji can be unsettling, it also serves as a reminder of nature’s power and the importance of community preparedness for adverse weather conditions.
