Hold onto your umbrellas, folks! A HEAVY RAIN ALERT is still in effect for the Northern Division, Lau, and Lomaiviti groups. If you thought your backyard needed a lake, well, you’re in luck!

A sluggish trough of low pressure is lounging over the country, but no worries—it’s expected to meander eastward like a sleepy sloth. Until it drifts off, expect some moody clouds and showers to rain on your parade from the east and northern parts through Wednesday.

Here’s the forecast until midnight tomorrow for the Fiji group:
– Occasional rain accompanied by some rather enthusiastic thunderstorms will be throwing a party over Vanua Levu, Taveuni, and nearby smaller islands, Lau, and the Lomaiviti group. Don’t forget your raincoat, or you might just end up as the main attraction in a water show!
– Eastern Viti Levu (that’s you, Serua-Namosi, Navua-Suva-Nausori, Tailevu-Naitasiri-Ra) will also face some rain with bursts of heavy downpours and energetic thunderstorms.
– The rest of us can look forward to the fine weather, though there could be a spontaneous shower or evening thunderstorm—because who doesn’t love a surprise?

Winds are moderate to fresh, so hold onto your hats (or your umbrellas) and get ready for moderately rough seas!

Outlook for Wednesday: Expect more of the same—occasional showers and a few thunderstorms inviting themselves over Vanua Levu, Taveuni, and surrounding islands. Eastern Viti Levu is likely to see cloudy periods, isolated heavy falls, and those sizzling thunderstorms bringing life to the party. In other areas, be prepared for more afternoon or evening surprises with thunderstorms lurking about.
