Weather Update
Greetings from the National Weather Forecasting Centre! As we step into the middle of October, it’s time to grab your umbrellas and put on your best rain dance moves—though judging by the forecast, it might not be the most lively routine!
For the Fiji group, expect a bit of a theatrical performance from the skies. This afternoon, the clouds will be putting on a show, particularly over Viti Levu’s interior and eastern regions—from Serua-Namosi all the way to Tailevu North. Those in Southern Bua, Cakaudrove (including Taveuni and nearby islands), Kadavu, Lau, and Lomaiviti groups should be prepared for some surprise showers too. The rest of you in drier spots can hang tight, as you’ll experience mostly fine weather, although don’t be shocked if a few rogue raindrops decide to join the party tomorrow!
Winds will be making a guest appearance as well, coming in from the southeast at a moderate pace. The seas? Moderate, but keep an eye out for any tricks they might have up their sleeves!
Now, here’s what we can expect for Friday: More cloudy spells with showers taking center stage over the interior and eastern parts of Viti Levu. The surrounding areas will be mostly fine, apart from some sudden showers in the afternoon. And yes, there’s a chance of a thunderstorm to add some dramatic flair!
