Fiji is set to experience ongoing hot and humid conditions as the country remains in the midst of its cyclone season, a time typically characterized by elevated temperatures and heightened humidity levels. Misaeli Funaki, Director of the Fiji Meteorological Service, has indicated that these weather patterns are expected to last for the next one to two months and will play a crucial role in forecasting how the upcoming dry season might develop, particularly regarding rainfall and temperature trends.
In light of these weather conditions, Funaki has encouraged parents and guardians to stay vigilant about their children’s safety. He warned that afternoon showers are anticipated, and the prevailing heat may lead to discomfort, especially among vulnerable groups such as children and the elderly.
Despite the challenges posed by the current climate, this weather pattern also serves as a reminder of Fiji’s rich environment, which demonstrates the resilience of its natural ecosystems. It’s vital for communities to take steps to adapt and prepare for the weather ahead, ensuring everyone’s wellbeing during this season.
