Gather ’round, weather aficionados! Here’s the scoop: a shy little trough of low pressure is hanging out to the north and seems to be packing its bags to leave—good riddance! Meanwhile, our good old friend, the southeasterly wind, is swaying through the islands like it just heard its favorite tune.

Now, let’s talk about what to expect before bedtime tomorrow. If you’re in Serua-Namosi, Navua-Suva-Nausori, Tailevu, Naitasiri, Ra, Southern Bua, Cakaudrove, get your umbrellas ready because it’s going to be cloudy with a splash of showers. But don’t panic, fine weather is planning an afternoon rendezvous with Lau and Lomaiviti, Kadavu, and their tiny island buddies!

As for the rest of you lovely folks, expect pleasant weather… except for some cheeky afternoon or evening showers popping up uninvited, along with a chance of isolated thunderstorms to keep things interesting. Just a heads-up: these naughty showers might hang around long enough to cause some flash flooding in low-lying areas, so maybe hold off on that beach picnic for now. The southeasterly winds will be moderate to fresh, and seas may be feeling a tad rough, like they just lost a game of poker.

Looking ahead to Sunday, we’re still carrying a bit of cloudy baggage with some showers sticking to the same regions—so Serua-Namosi, Navua-Suva-Nausori, Tailevu, Naitasiri, Ra, Southern Bua, Cakaudrove, Lau, Lomaiviti, and Kadavu, you’re in the showers’ spotlight once again. However, folks elsewhere can expect sunshine with just a sprinkle of brief afternoon or evening showers. Those moderate easterly winds continue to dance, while seas maintain a moderately rough demeanor.

Now, let’s get specific:
