Weather Update
Good morning, everyone! If you woke up thinking today might be your day for a sunbathing session, think again! A moist easterly wind is swooping in like it owns the place, and it looks like a trough of low pressure has decided to stop by for a chat.
Starting later today, the northern and eastern parts of our beautiful Fiji are going to be smothered in clouds and a shower or two (or let’s be honest, probably a lot more than that). We’re talking about thunder, lightning, and enough rain to make you wonder if you accidentally stepped into a tropical rainforest.
Here’s the scoop for the forecast until midnight tonight: Expect cloudy periods, scattered showers, and the occasional thunderstorm that might just make you appreciate your mother’s warnings to always carry an umbrella. Look out especially for our friends in the Interior and eastern areas of Viti Levu, including Sigatoka, Namosi, and the wonderful Suva.
In other parts of the country, it’ll be partly cloudy with some afternoon or evening showers throwing in a thunderstorm for good measure. Ah, who doesn’t love an unexpected weather drama?! And do keep your eyes peeled – those isolated heavy falls might just sweep you off your feet, literally, if you’re in a flood-prone area.
Moderate east to southeast winds are coming in as well—which could feel a bit romantic if you’re into breezy weather with an inclination for dramatic skies. The sea? You might want to keep your boat tied up for a while because it’s looking moderate to rough out there.
Now, for Monday’s sneak peek: It’s much of the same! More clouds, more chances of showers, and the lingering possibility of thunderstorms. Think of it as a weather rerun—only, instead of commercials, you might get caught in the rain!
