What’s the deal? A sneaky low-pressure system has decided to hang out over the western parts of Viti Levu, slowly drifting eastwards like that one friend who just won’t leave the party. By the end of Sunday, it’ll be hanging out just north of Fiji, probably looking for a drink. Meanwhile, we’ll be enjoying a nice breeze from the south to southwest — perfect for flying kites, or maybe just to keep the sweat off your brow.
Now, here’s what’s coming your way until midnight tonight across the glorious Fiji group: Expect gloomy skies with a fair share of showers. Don’t be surprised to hear some thunder by afternoon or evening — it’s the sky’s version of throwing a tantrum! The heaviest rain could be over Greater Nadi, Lautoka, Ba, and more – basically, the spots that could use a bit of a wetting down.
As the day progresses, don’t fret if the showers decide to spread the love to other areas. Just think of it as nature’s way of sharing water! And while we’re throwing around weather warnings, remember that localized heavy falls might make some low-lying spots feel like they’ve hosted a mini tsunami, so tread carefully.
Winds are going to hang out moderately, and seas will keep their calm demeanor. It’s not a day for high seas, more a day for gentle ripples.
Looking ahead to Sunday: Most places will be looking fine, and it’s just a few spots that might get hit by a couple of showers or thunderstorms. These include areas like Vanua Levu and Taveuni. Don’t pack away your umbrella just yet, though – those localized heavy falls are still a possibility!
For our lovely residents of Navua, Suva, and Nausori: Expect cloudy patches with a side of showers and the occasional thunderstorm. Temperatures will be a mild 24 at the low end, soaring up to a sizzling 33.
Now, for a quick weather round-up for the hotspots:
– Natadradave/Korovou: Expect some clouds and a chance of thunderstorms. 24 at night, dial it up to 33 by day!
– Sigatoka/Coral Coast: Similar forecast – keep your raincoat handy and prepare for temperatures between 24 and 33.
– Nadi/Lautoka/Ba: Clouds and the potential for heavy showers. High hopes of 34!
– Taveuni, Yasawa/Mamanuca, and even our friends in Labasa will be sharing in the wetness. Just keep your umbrella nearby!
So, in short, whether you’re basking in what sunshine you can find or dodging raindrops on the way to the market, remember to keep it light, keep it fun, and keep it dry (mostly)!
