Weather Update
Good morning, weather-watchers! The weather gurus at the National Weather Forecasting Centre Nadi have rolled out our latest forecast, and it seems like an umbrella might be your best friend in the coming days!
Currently, a sluggish trough of low pressure is taking its sweet time over the eastern parts of the country—think of it as a sunbather that forgot to reapply sunscreen! Expect a mix of clouds and showers to drift around the Fijian group for a little while.
For today, brace yourselves for occasional showers and an occasional thunderstorm party over Lau, Lomaiviti, Kadavu, and their smaller island pals. On the eastern half of Viti Levu—covering Navua, Suva, Nausori, Tailevu, Naitasiri, and Ra—you can expect a modest smattering of clouds with some showers.
Now, don’t put away those umbrellas just yet! Elsewhere, it’s mostly fine—though a little afternoon or evening sprinkle could surprise you when you least expect it.
Heads up! Some afternoon thunderstorms may crash the party on both Viti Levu and Vanua Levu, bringing heavy rains. And just like an unexpected guest, localized heavy rains might lead to flash flooding in low-lying areas. So, you might want to keep your Crocs handy!
Winds are moderate, aiming to keep things breezy while the seas are moderately lively—watch for those waves if you’re taking a dip!
Looking ahead to Wednesday: we’ll see a repeat of the occasional showers and isolated thunderstorms over Lau, Lomaiviti, the eastern half of Viti Levu, Kadavu, Plus, Cakaudrove, and southern Bua. Other areas should be mostly fine, though don’t forget that afternoon or evening sprinkle might just swing by for a visit!
Here’s the scoop for specific areas:
– Navua / Suva / Nausori: Expect cloudy times with showers, and afternoon thunderstorms that might take a heavy turn.
– Nadi / Lautoka / Ba: It’ll shine bright, apart from a little evening sprinkle and perhaps a thunderstorm.
– Sigatoka/Coral Coast: All clear, except for those pesky afternoon showers and possible thunderstorms.
– Tavua/Rakiraki: Enjoy the fine weather until afternoon or evening showers swing by for a guest appearance.
– Yasawa/Mamanuca: Just a bit of drizzle here and there, with occasional thunderstorms.
– Labasa: Mostly pleasant, with a chance of afternoon showers and thunderstorms sneaking in.
– Savusavu: Cloudy periods and a chance of rain—better keep those raincoats close!
– Lau/Lomaiviti: Showers and thunderstorms making an encore appearance.
– Kadavu: Same story as Lau—showers and storms are in the forecast.
– Rotuma: Here, you’re looking at a fine day apart from brief showers and the wind reminding you it’s still breezy.
So, whether you’re planning a sunny day out or just a cozy time indoors with a great book, it’s wise to anticipate a little rain on your parade. Don’t forget that umbrella, you might just need it! Stay dry, folks!
