Weather Update
Issued from the National Weather Forecasting Centre Nadi
Ladies and gentlemen, hold onto your umbrellas because the Fiji group is under a Heavy Rain Alert! Yes, it’s time to embrace the splish-splash and unleash your inner duck as a trough of low pressure has decided to spoil us with cloud cover, showers, and rain until Saturday.
Tonight’s forecast brings you the delightful combo of occasional rain, heavy at times, and a few surprise thunderstorms—perfect for those who enjoy the thrill of nature’s own fireworks! The Northern Division, Lau, Lomaiviti groups, Yasawa, Mamanuca, and the northeastern parts of Viti Levu (yes, Tavua, Ra-Rakiraki, Naitasiri, Tailevu North, we’re looking at you) should expect the heaviest downpours. Everywhere else will witness the sky showing off its clear blue dance moves—until later when the rain joins in on the party!
Don’t forget your life jackets if you’re in low-lying areas; persistent heavy showers could lead to flash flooding—because why not throw a little excitement into the mix? Gusty moderate to fresh northerly winds will be your companions while the seas moderately rock the boat.
As we look ahead to Saturday, brief showers will sprinkle over the northern parts of Viti Levu, the Northern Bua, Macuata, Lau, and Lomaiviti groups. For the rest of us, fine weather will reign supreme—until the afternoon or evening rolls in and thunderstorms make a guest appearance.
