**Weather Comedy Corner**
Gather ’round folks, because the national weather party is still on, and we’re keeping it breezy—quite literally! As of 10:45 AM this fine Saturday, September 20, 2025, the winds have RSVP’d to hit harder. Brace yourselves, fellow islanders, a strong wind warning is still blowing through Ra-Rakiraki, Southern Bua, and a whole host of other fabulous seaside destinations. The winds are on a southeast shopping spree, hitting land areas with speeds up to 45 km/hr. It seems they’ve taken a special liking to Taveuni and its lovely neighboring islands.
**Forecasting Funnies**
For all you weather enthusiasts swooning over gale forces, prepare for an eventful weekend! Gusty southeast winds are trying to steal the show, turning the seas rougher than last year’s rugby finals. If you’re on the coast, anchor your hats and hold onto your flip-flops—nature’s styling with a windblown look today and into Monday.
We’re expecting some moody skies with occasional brief showers, likely making cameo appearances, especially over regions such as Serua-Namosi and other unsuspecting areas. Elsewhere, the sun promises to make an appearance, possibly from behind rapidly moving clouds. At night, it cools down, so grab your comfiest sweater and enjoy nature’s AC.
