Weather Bulletin
Hold onto your umbrellas, folks, because it’s about to get wet out there! As of this fine Friday at 3:30 pm, the National Weather Forecasting Centre in Nadi has unleashed a Heavy Rain Alert for the fancy eastern half of Viti Levu. If you’re anywhere near Serua-Namosi, Navua, Suva, Nausori, Tailevu, Naitasiri, Ra, Yasawa, the Northern Division, Lau, Lomaiviti Groups, Kadavu, or those charming smaller islands, then brace yourselves!
Currently, there’s a weak pressure trough overhead, allowing clouds and showers to play the starring role in this weather drama while an easterly breeze provides the backdrop music.
Let’s break it down, shall we?
**Forecast Until Midnight Tomorrow**
Today: Expect cloudy periods – not the cute cotton candy kind, but the ones that bring showers across Serua-Namosi, Navua, Suva, Nausori, Tailevu, Naitasiri, Ra, and more. Meanwhile, those elsewhere can enjoy moments of fine weather, possibly interrupted by quirky afternoon or evening showers. And just when you thought you’d get away without a thrill, expect a few afternoon thunderstorms to crash your outdoor plans, especially in the southern half of Viti Levu and Vanua Levu. Flash flooding might want to come along for the ride in low-lying areas, so keep your floaties handy!
Tomorrow: The rain dancers will be out in full force, as occasional heavy rain and some cheeky thunderstorms decide to grace Serua-Namosi, Navua, Suva, Nausori, Tailevu, Naitasiri, Ra, Yasawa, and beyond. If you’re lucky enough to be situated outside this rain party, you might just escape with only a shower or two and potentially heartbreaking thunderstorms. Do remember, those localized heavy downpours love to hang around low-lying areas, so stay alert. And don’t forget the easterly winds – they aim to keep things moderately breezy.
**A Look Ahead to Sunday**: Frequent showers and more thunderstorms are star-studded in the forecast. Min: 22, Max: 28 for most regions, because who doesn’t want to play hide and seek with the weather?
**Regional Forecast Highlights**:
– **Navua/Suva/Nausori**: Your evening should come complete with cloudy periods, showers, and some afternoon thunder action. Looks like rain is prepared for an encore tomorrow.
– **Sigatoka/Coral Coast**: Enjoy some fine weather before those afternoon showers and shocking thunderstorms swank onto your plans.
– **Nadi/Lautoka/Ba**: Similar to Sigatoka, enjoy the sunshine while it lasts before the showers crash the party.
– **For Yasawa/Mamanuca Group**: Beautiful weather with only a flirtation from the evening showers.
Take heed, wherever you are, make sure to wear your raincoat and grab your favorite beverage – let’s face it, sometimes all you can do is enjoy the show while sipping tea as the skies perform their dramatic monologue. Stay safe and best of luck with the weather, because it seems like it has its own agenda!
