A low-pressure trough is currently hovering over the Fiji Group, bringing clouds and heavy rainfall. According to the Fiji Meteorological Service, this system is progressively moving eastward. Residents can expect showers to impact the area throughout the day, particularly in Suva, Nausori, and Tailevu, as well as in Sigatoka, the Coral Coast, and several other regions including Ra-Rakiraki, Naitasiri, Serua, Namosi, Lau, and the Lomaiviti Group.
In addition to these widespread showers, cloudy conditions will prevail, with the possibility of thunderstorms and significant rainfall in the afternoons and evenings. The risk of localized heavy downpours may result in flash flooding, particularly in low-lying and flood-prone areas.
Looking ahead to Sunday, the forecast suggests continued cloudy periods with showers expected over greater Suva, Nausori, and Tailevu areas, along with other regions like southern Bua, Cakaudrove, Lau, and Lomaiviti. Most parts of the Fiji Group will experience fine conditions, though isolated showers may occur in the afternoon or evening.
While the weather may pose challenges, it also provides much-needed rainfall to nourish the land and benefit agriculture. With proper preparations and precautionary measures, residents can navigate the weather changes effectively.
Overall, as the Fiji community faces this weather system, there is hope for a swift return to clear skies and sunshine once the trough passes, allowing the natural beauty of the islands to shine.
