Fiji Heavy Rain Alert Remains in Force for Northern Division, Lau and Lomaiviti Groups

Weather Update

Good day, weather watchers! Grab your umbrellas, galoshes, and perhaps a raincoat or two, because it seems like the sky’s decided to throw a little party—and everyone’s invited! The heavy rain alert is here to remind us that nature has an overwhelming sense of humor, especially if you’re residing in the Northern Division, Lau, and Lomaiviti groups.

Here’s the scoop: a leisurely trough of low pressure is just hanging around, enjoying the view over Fiji, and it’s expected to eventually wander eastward—sort of like that one friend who can never quite find the door at a party. Expect some splendid clouds and showers to continue performing over the eastern and northern parts of the group through Wednesday.

Now, for the forecast until midnight tonight:

Think of it as a bit of a shower concert featuring occasional rain (yes, bring your raincoat), with the chance for some isolated heavy falls and thunderous applause—er, we mean thunderstorms—over Vanua Levu, Taveuni, and their mini neighbors, Lau, and Lomaiviti. Rain? Yes, please! But it should start easing to mere light showers tomorrow.

Over Eastern Viti Levu (that includes friends like Serua-Namosi, Navua-Suva-Nausori, and Tailevu-Naitasiri-Ra), expect some showers too with those delightful thunderstorm special guests. And elsewhere? Well, it’s likely going to stay fine unless you’re looking for some afternoon or evening surprise showers and a spontaneous thunderstorm.

Our wind buddies will be moderate to fresh from the north to the southeast, and the seas? Think moderate to rough—like a poorly organized jousting tournament.

Looking ahead to Wednesday: It’s another round of occasional showers and a few thunderclaps for Vanua Levu, Taveuni, and surrounding locals. Eastern Viti Levu will see the clouds hanging out with the good old showers as well. Elsewhere, parties of rain and thunderstorms can pop up in the afternoon or evening. Expect moderate breezes and seas trying to keep it together.

Now, breaking it down by locale:

– **Navua / Suva / Nausori**: Expect some rain and gregarious thunderstorms. Today’s highlights: Min: 22°C, Max: 30°C. Tomorrow’s forecast looks similar—don’t forget the umbrella!

– **Natadradave/Korovou**: Same as above—rain, thunder, and all the excitement. Today: Min: 21°C, Max: 30°C.

– **Sigatoka/Coral Coast**: Still fine apart from that cheeky afternoon precipitation. Today: Min: 22°C, Max: 30°C.

– **Nadi / Lautoka / Ba**: Sunshine reprieves with a side of storms. Today: Min: 21°C, Max: 32°C.

– **Tavua/Rakiraki**: Some showers seeking attention in Rakiraki, while Tavua stays mostly fine. Today: Min: 22°C, Max: 32°C.

– **Yasawa/Mamanuca Group**: Going for fine, but be ready for the unexpected rain visitors. Today: Min: 22°C, Max: 32°C.

– **Labasa & Savusavu**: Oh joy, occasional rain and thunder waiting for their cue. Today: Min: 22°C, Max: 31°C.

– **Rotuma**: Soothing northeasterly winds with cloudy moments and a touch of showers. Today: Min: 24°C, Max: 30°C.

That’s all for today’s weather! Keep your rain gear at the ready and go out there—after all, life is too short to let a little rain dampen your spirits!
