Weather Update Alert!
Good morning, Fiji! Buckle up your umbrellas because we’ve got some serious weather action on our hands. As of this morning, 5:30 am to be precise, the entire Fiji group is now under a heavy rain alert, and let me tell you, no place is escaping Murphy’s Law today!
Yes, you heard it right! A flash flood alert is also in full swing, making our beautiful islands the perfect setting for a spontaneous water park adventure. Be sure to check out the Special Weather Bulletin for all the juicy details (and maybe even a rain dance) at the National Weather Forecasting Center website.
In case you live near low-lying flood-prone areas such as the Nakauvadra River, Naseani at Yaqara, and Tavua Town Bridge, consider this your friendly neighborhood heads-up. Water may soon be competing with your favorite fish for bragging rights!
What’s causing this wet and wild scene, you ask? A sluggish trough of low pressure is hanging out just to our southwest, bringing along its entourage of clouds and rain, likely planning a long stay until later today. So if you’re planning to step outside, expect occasional showers and the odd thunderstorm trying to steal the limelight with some heavy downpours. Don’t worry, things will start to dry up later today—just enough time to get your laundry out before it rains again!
