Weather Update
Gather ’round, Fiji! It’s time for your weather gossip fresh off the press from the National Weather Forecasting Centre, and boy, do we have a mixed bag for you this weekend!
Right now, the south to southwest winds are blowing through the group, providing a breezy backdrop to our current drama—a weak trough nudging its way in. Picture it like a shy guest at a party, slowly making its way through the crowd—this one brings clouds and showers along for some light discussions, expected to really stir things up later tonight. The good news? This guest should be on their way northeast by late Sunday, hopefully bringing some sunshine along with them!
As for the forecast until midnight tomorrow, expect more clouds than a conspiracy theorist’s mind, with a few showers popping up in various locations. There’s a chance of isolated afternoon or evening showers and some potential for thunderstorms—particularly over the Eastern and Interior parts of the larger island, along with Lau and Lomaiviti groups. So, if you plan on going out, pack an umbrella and maybe a rain dance routine, just in case!
Watch out for localized heavy falls that could lead to flash flooding in flood-prone areas. So, avoid those low-lying spots—unless you’re keen on turning your living room into a swimming pool!
Now, let’s stroll into the Sunday forecast. It appears we’ll be mostly fine with a sprinkle of isolated afternoon or evening showers and the return of thunderstorms over Vanua Levu, Taveuni, and some neighboring smaller islands. Grab your sunglasses, but keep the raincoats handy! The same localized heavy falls could come back to haunt us, so don’t let your guard down.
Here’s how your favorite spots are shaping up:
For Navua/Suva/Nausori: Cloudy with a few shy showers, and thunderstorms may decide to crash the party. Temperatures ranging from a cozy 24 to a steamy 33 degrees.
