Weather Update from the National Weather Forecasting Centre, Nadi

Well, folks, it seems we have a mix of weather coming our way! The moist northeast winds are treating us like a warm blanket, and they’ve brought along some cloud cover and a crest of showers that are sneaking in from the west. Expect this quirky weather system to kick in later on Thursday, so whip out your umbrellas—or as we like to call them, “portable rain shelters!”

Forecast until midnight Wednesday for the Fiji group:

In the bustling areas of Navua, Suva, Nausori, plus the scenic spots in Tailevu, Ra, Naitasiri, eastern Macuata, Cakaudrove, and beyond: Your day will feature cloudy patches which may just decide to shower you with some rain. Keep an ear out for afternoon or evening thunderstorms that might pop up like surprise guests at a party!

Meanwhile, for those in the rest of Fiji: It’s looking mostly fine today, but keep alert for those sneaky showers in the afternoon or evening. Thunderstorms could also decide to crash the party, bringing along heavy downpours—which could lead to some unscheduled flash floods in low-lying areas. And just a friendly reminder, the winds are behaving moderately, while the seas decide which way to sway.

So, what’s brewing for Thursday? Expect more cloudiness, showers, and the possibility of those unpredictable thunderstorms making an appearance over the regions of Serua, Namosi, Navua, Suva, and Naitasiri—so have your rain dances ready! Elsewhere, partly cloudy skies will try to seduce the sun here and there, but shower antics are still on the menu. Heavy falls could occur, and local flooding might invite itself to the lowlands, so stay alert!

Here’s the breakdown for specific areas:

**Navua / Suva / Nausori**: Expect cloudiness, intermittent showers, and those infamous thunder claps this afternoon.

**Nadi / Lautoka / Ba**: The sun may come out to play, but it won’t take long before you see some exciting shower action in the afternoons.
