Weather Update
Good morning, Fiji! It’s that time again—grab your umbrellas and maybe a raincoat or two because the skies are feeling a bit moody today!
As of this morning, we’ve got a weak trough of low pressure lingering about in the northern parts of our beautiful islands, but don’t worry, it has plans to clear out later today—a classic case of “I’ll just hang out here for a bit longer.” Just as we wave goodbye to that, another trough is expected to arrive tomorrow to bring the party back with rain and thunderstorms to keep the weekend lively.
Now, let’s dive into the forecast for the day! Expect cloudy periods with some showers—yes, you heard me right, it’s not all doom and gloom! A few thunderstorms with heavy downpours are on the guest list for Vanua Levu, Taveuni, and some of those charming smaller islands, along with Lomaiviti and the northern Lau groups. But fear not! The rain may take a little break as the day progresses.
Meanwhile, elsewhere in Fiji, it’s looking fine-ish—just a couple of isolated afternoon or evening showers if you’re out and about. Winds will be moderate and northwesterly, so don’t worry about the sails getting too wild. The seas are moderate too, so your plans for a little boat ride should be smooth sailing!
Looking ahead to Friday, it seems like the clouds are in a bit of a theatrical mood again. Expect more cloudy periods bringing showers over Serua-Namosi, Navua-Suva-Nausori, Tailevu-Naitasiri-Ra, Southern Bua, Cakaudrove, Taveuni, and their nearby friends. By the afternoon, those showers are set to turn into rain and occasional thunderstorms, so you might want to keep that dance-off indoors. Just a heads-up: localized heavy falls could lead to some flash flooding in low-lying areas—think of it as Mother Nature’s way of saying she needs a break from the sun-baking!
