Hold onto your umbrellas, Fiji! We’ve got a trough of low pressure lounging around the western parts of Viti Levu, taking its sweet time before heading east. By Sunday, it plans to make itself comfortable just north of Fiji. Until then, expect a steady breeze from the south to southwest—perfect for kite flying if you’re careful!
Today’s forecast up until midnight is looking a bit moody with plenty of clouds hanging around. Don’t be surprised if you spot a few showers and hear some grumpy rumbles from the sky during the afternoon or evening. Greater Nadi, Lautoka, Ba, and a whole bunch of other places like Interior Ba & Nadroga/Navosa will see the heaviest showers. It’s not just the land that’s getting a shower; the sea is expected to show off some moderate waves too!
Given those isolated heavy falls, keep your eyes peeled for potential flash flooding in low-lying areas. You know, areas where a puddle can suddenly turn into a swimming pool!
Now, onto outlook for Sunday—get ready for most places to clear up and show off some sunshine. Don’t forget your flip-flops if you’re headed to Vanua Levu, Taveuni, or the northern Lau group where some sneaky afternoon showers and thunderstorms might crash the party.
