Well, folks, wake up and smell the showers! We’ve got a trough of low pressure hanging around like that one friend who never knows when to leave, and it’s bringing its cloudy entourage and an occasional shower to eastern Fiji. Meanwhile, the wind is blowing from the south to the northeast like it’s trying to get a fan club together.

Here’s the scoop for the Fiji group until midnight tomorrow: Expect occasional showers and some heavy downpours in areas like Coral Coast, Navua, Greater Suva, Nausori-Tailevu, Ra-Naitasiri, Serua-Namosi, Southern Bua, Cakudrove provinces, Lau and Lomaiviti group, Kadavu, and that little band of mischievous nearby islands. If you’re lucky enough to be outside of those areas, you might just enjoy some fine weather, with only a chance of “pop-up” afternoon or evening showers, much like your uninvited relatives showing up for dinner.

But don’t forget about the excitement! Isolated thunderstorms could throw a little drama into the mix, potentially leading to flash flooding in low-lying spots. So, while you’re out enjoying the weather, keep an eye out for sudden water features sprouting in unexpected places.

And let’s not forget about the seas! They’re predicted to be moderate to rough, so if you were thinking about a relaxing boat trip, maybe hold off for now unless you enjoy nature’s rollercoaster.

Now, looking ahead to Sunday: yes, you guessed it, more of the same! Occasional showers and the chance of heavy falls over the same beloved spots. A fine day is still possible elsewhere, but don’t be shocked by those unpredictable afternoon or evening showers.

Here’s the forecast breakdown:
