Weather Report
Listen up, Fiji! The forecast is looking rather dramatic today, and not just because of the heavy rain! Yes, folks, a HEAVY RAIN WARNING is flying above our heads, and the winds are putting on a show worthy of a Broadway performance. Grab your umbrellas and hold onto your hats!
To kick things off, Tropical Depression TD07F is shaking things up, chilling 450km West-Southwest of Nadi as it ambles south at about 10 knots. Why go for a walk when you can make clouds and rain dance? Expect strong winds reaching up to 55km/hr, with gusts that might just take your hat for a joyride at 85km/hr in places like Yasawa and Mamanuca. That’s faster than a toddler chasing an ice cream truck!
The rain is not shy either, coming in occasional bursts, especially in the Yasawa, Mamanuca, and Coastal Viti Levu areas (think Rakiraki to Nadi). So be prepared—your favorite flip-flops might become permanent fixtures at the beach! Keep an eye on those low-lying areas; flash flooding could crash the party.
Looking ahead to Saturday, expect occasional rain and a sprinkle of thunderstorms—great for practicing your impersonation of a wet dog! The outlook is still quite “cloudy with a chance of something,” so keep that trusty umbrella handy.
Here’s a cheeky snapshot for various regions:
For Navua/Suva/Nausori: Ocassional rain and a few thunderstorms, but don’t worry, it should ease up later. Min: 22, Max: 29.
For Nadi/Lautoka/Ba: Hold on tight! Strong winds will be whipping up to 85km/hr. Occasional to periods of rain are expected, with a high of 29. Max: 29.
For Yasawa/Mamanuca: Similar fun with strong winds and rain. Don’t forget—if the wind messes up your hairstyle, blame it on nature! Min: 22, Max: 29.
And for these memory-makers:
Kadavu: Get ready for winds up to 55km/hr and some spirited rain on the way. Min: 24, Max: 29.
Rotuma: A strong wind warning in place with occasional heavy rain. Min: 22, Max: 28.
And if you’re on Taveuni, bring your raincoat! It’s going to be quite the splashy Saturday.
So, whether you enjoy weather watching from your cozy couch or braving the storm for an adventure, make sure to stay safe and embrace the wet, wild side of Fiji!
