A slow-moving trough of low pressure is bringing clouds and heavy rainfall to the Fiji Group, as reported by the Fiji Meteorological Service. This weather system is gradually shifting eastward, and its effects are expected to linger until later today.
Residents in areas such as Suva, Nausori, Tailevu, Sigatoka, Coral Coast, central Ra-Rakiraki, Naitasiri, Serua, Namosi, as well as the Lau and Lomaiviti groups, should prepare for occasional showers. The forecast also indicates cloudy conditions elsewhere, with increased chances of thunderstorms accompanied by heavy rainfall in the afternoon or evening. Localized heavy rains might cause flash flooding in vulnerable low-lying areas.
Looking ahead to Sunday, the weather is projected to remain overcast with occasional showers primarily affecting the greater Suva-Nausori-Tailevu regions, central Ra-Rakiraki, Naitasiri, and Serua-Namosi, along with parts of Bua, Cakaudrove, Lau, and Lomaiviti. Meanwhile, other regions are likely to experience finer weather, aside from isolated showers in the afternoons or evenings.
As the community braces for potential wet weather, it’s an opportunity to come together and demonstrate resilience against nature’s unpredictability. Staying informed and prepared can help mitigate any adverse effects of the rainfall.
Summary: A trough of low pressure is causing clouds and heavy showers over Fiji, with localized flooding possible. Showers will likely affect various regions until later today, with a mixed outlook for Sunday. Residents are encouraged to remain vigilant.
