Attention all you rain dance enthusiasts: it’s time to break out your umbrellas because a Heavy Rain Alert is now in effect for the Northern Division, Eastern Viti Levu, Yasawa, Lau, and the Lomaiviti group—and it has now decided to join the party across all of Fiji!
What’s causing this watery soirée, you ask? A stubborn trough of low pressure has decided to settle over our lovely islands; it’s like that friend who overstays their welcome. Expect an entourage of clouds and rain as they roll in.
The forecast up until midnight tomorrow for the Fiji group promises us some occasional rain, with certain areas experiencing downpours and even a few thunderstorms to add a little drama to the mix—particularly over the Northern Division, Western and Northern Viti Levu (that’s Momi, Nadi, Ba, and Ra), Yasawa, and Mamanuca group. Elsewhere, the rain will occasionally sprinkle down, possibly with a side of isolated thunderstorms and surprise heavy falls—what a thrill!
If you’re in low-lying areas, be ready for a potential flash flood, as Mother Nature seems to have a little too much enthusiasm for her waterworks today. Expect moderate east to northerly winds—perfect for those who like their breezes fresh and lively. The seas will be moderate to rough, making it a great day for the daring sailors out there.
Looking ahead to Saturday, the forecast remains classic Fiji: occasional rain and a dash of thunderstorms will likely entertain us. Another reminder for those in low-lying areas: watch out for moods swings of precipitation that could lead to flash flooding. Winds will continue to flutter, and seas will remain in a robust state.
Now, let’s check in on specific locations:
**Navua / Suva / Nausori:** Expect some occasional artful rain and isolated thunderstorms, with today’s max being a cool 29. Tomorrow’s goth-esque vibes mirror a minimum of 23 and a maximum also hitting 29.
**Natadradave/Korovou:** Light up the mood with some occasional rain and dramatic thunderstorms. Today’s max is a delightful 29, with tomorrow bringing a comparable 23 at minimum and a maximum of 29.
**Sigatoka/Coral Coast:** Embrace the whimsical with heavy occasional rain and flashes of thunder. Get ready for a sizzling 30 today and an exact repeat for tomorrow’s max.
**Nadi / Lautoka / Ba:** The drama of occasional rains and thunderstorms persists. Today you’ll hit a max of 30, while tomorrow’s forecast keeps the number in the ballpark with a minimum of 23 and a maximum of 30.
**Tavua/Rakiraki, Yasawa/Mamanuca, Labasa, Savusavu, Nabouwalu, Kadavu:** Following the aquatic trend, anticipate occasional rain and a few thunderstorms, keeping the temp steady around 30 for the maximum. Tomorrow’s minimums will feel cozy at 23.
**Taveuni:** Occasional rain chooses this locale to bask in the tropics, with thunderstorms for added flair. Expect a maximum of 30 today and a refreshing dip to a max of 20 tomorrow.
Finally, **Rotuma:** A mix of occasional showers and occasional thunderstorms makes for quite the weather cocktail, with moderate to fresh northeastern winds joining the fun. Today’s maximum stays at 30, dipping to 29 tomorrow.
Stay safe, keep dry (or splash on!), and remember: every good rain must eventually come to an end—or at least take a break for an ice cream!
