Weather Update
Greetings, fellow weather watchers! Buckle up, because it looks like the sky has a few surprises in store for us this weekend – and not all of them are as cheerful as a sunny beach day!
First off, we’ve got a shy little trough of low pressure sneaking into the eastern and southern parts of the group starting later today. Think of it as the weather’s version of a surprise party – only this party comes with clouds and showers. Meanwhile, we’re enjoying a gentle east to southeast breeze, which will be changing its personality to a predominantly east to northeast wind tomorrow. So, if you’re waiting to get blown away, fear not – just a breezy shakeup instead!
For the Fiji group, the forecast to midnight tomorrow reads like this: Expect cloudy periods with showers over southeastern Viti Levu, which includes those lively locals from Serua-Namosi, Navua-Suva-Nausori, Tailevu, Naitasiri, Ra-Rakiraki, and the interior of Ra. Throw in the Southern Bua and Cakaudrove provinces and we’ve got quite the crowd! Lau and Lomaiviti groups, Kadavu, Taveuni, and Qamea are also expected to join the shower festivities.
If you’re hanging out elsewhere, you might be lucky enough to stay fine! Just remember, there could be a random shower in the afternoon or evening trying to photobomb your plans.
Now, if you’re in the interior and western half of Viti Levu, keep your eyes peeled for possible thunderstorms. Yes, they too want to join the weekend fun!
Now let’s talk about winds: moderate to fresh east to southeast winds are feeling adventurous, and seas are gearing up to be moderate to rough – so maybe skip the sailing if you don’t fancy mixing it up with Mother Nature.
Looking ahead to Sunday, it appears cloudy periods and showers will continue to cast their shadows over the usual suspects – with some intervals of fine weather elsewhere but keep your shower umbrellas handy. Afternoon or evening showers with a side of isolated thunderstorms might be on the menu.
Here’s the localized lowdown:
Navua / Suva / Nausori: A few clouds and some showers. Expect round two on Sunday!
Sigatoka/Coral Coast: A champion of fine weather, with just a fleeting shower in the afternoon or evening. Sunday looks the same – let’s hope the weather doesn’t let us down!
Nadi / Lautoka / Ba: Fine weather everywhere except the odd afternoon shower. Don’t be surprised if those thunderstorms decide to crash the party as well.
Tavua/Rakiraki: Clouds are swaying over Rakiraki, while elsewhere may be enjoying fine weather. Thunderstorms could show up for some added drama – stay tuned!
Natadradave / Korovou: Don’t forget your umbrellas – more clouds and showers are on the way!
Yasawa/Mamanuca group: Keep your sunny vibes – some afternoon showers will just pop in to say hello.
Labasa: Fine conditions reigning supreme, although be wary of those mischievous afternoon storms making an appearance!
Savusavu: Brace for a cloudy visit, as showers will make themselves known!
Lau / Lomaiviti and Kadavu: The shower bandwagon rolls on, so prepare for a cloudy companion this weekend.
Rotuma: A misty mood from the easterly winds, with brief showers making a guest appearance. Expect a few isolated thunderstorms on Sunday – a fitting climax to the weekend!
Overall, it seems like our weather has quite the personality – a mix of fun sunshine and moody clouds with a side of showers. Whatever your plans are, keep that umbrella close and embrace the unpredictable!
