Weather Alert
Hey there, weather enthusiasts! Buckle up because Mother Nature has decided to shake things up in Fiji! As of this fine evening, we’ve got a Severe Thunderstorm Warning in play for the interior and southern parts of Viti Levu and southern Vanua Levu. That’s right, grab your umbrellas – it’s about to get a little rain-drenched dramatic out there!
Currently, there’s a deep low-pressure trough throwing a bit of a tantrum to our southwest and moving westward like it’s trying to catch the next wave. Meanwhile, another moody trough is lingering overhead, showering us with clouds and rain like an overzealous gardener.
Here’s your forecast leading up to midnight tomorrow for the charming Fijian group:
Expect occasional showers accompanied by the occasional heavy downpour and thunder over the interior and eastern parts of our more substantial islands (we’re talking about areas like Navua, Suva, Nausori, and some southern spots that are probably starting to feel like a water park). Taveuni, Lomaiviti, Lau, Kadavu, Yasawa, and the Mamanuca groups are also on the list for a splash of rain.
Elsewhere, it will be partly cloudy with some afternoon and evening showers trying to steal the spotlight, along with thunderstorms throwing in their two cents – feel free to change the channel if you find it too dramatic. Just a heads up: localized heavy rains might trigger flash floods in low-lying areas, so keep those floaties handy!
Winds will be moderately naughty from the northeast, fresh at times – just don’t let them steal your hat. The seas? They’ll be moderately to rough, so no paddleboarding unless you enjoy a hearty workout against the waves.
Looking ahead to Friday, it seems like some clouds are planning a reunion with showers, especially over the interior and northeastern regions (that’s Suva, Nausori, and friends). The forecast includes some hefty falls, with potential flash flooding as a party crasher, so stay on your toes!
Now, let’s dive into what tomorrow holds for specific locations:
For Navua/Suva/Nausori, expect occasional showers joined by a talented electric personality known as thunderstorms. Tomorrow will boast a minimum of 25 degrees and a max of 30.
