Weather Alert
Time to check your umbrellas and sunscreen! It’s that exciting time of year again when Fiji’s weather decides to show off its skills. Currently, we’re being graced with some breezy easterly winds. Meanwhile, a playful trough hanging out to the northeast is making its way southeast, bringing a touch of moisture to our beloved island paradise starting Saturday. Put on your raincoats but keep your flip-flops handy!
Here’s the forecast until midnight tomorrow for the Fiji group:
We’re looking at generally fine weather, with just a few sultry showers crashing the party over the interior and eastern areas of Macuata, Southern Bua, Cakaudrove (yes, including our pal Taveuni), as well as parts of Viti Levu where they have no shortage of rain—specifically from Serua-Namosi through Navua-Suva-Nausori and up to Tailevu North. Lau and Lomaiviti groups might see some rain too, but the rest can flaunt their sun-kissed days without worry. Expect moderate to fresh easterly winds; it’s like the wind is practicing for a marathon! Just a heads-up: the seas are a bit rough earlier, but they’ll calm down later today, so ease off on that surfboard for now.
Now, let’s look at Saturday’s forecast: We’ve got cloudy periods rolling in with a few isolated showers. The same locations in Macuata, Cakaudrove, and eastern Viti Levu are expected to see some action, while the rest of Fiji might enjoy isolated afternoon sprinkles, with a chance of a thunderstorm—so keep your lightning dance moves at the ready! Moderate winds will continue to dance along the coast; the seas may still be moderate to rough.
Let’s break down the local forecasts:
