Attention, fellow weather watchers! It seems that a moist northeast wind flow is plotting its take-over over the group, while an incoming trough of low pressure is preparing to drop by like an unexpected guest. Showers and clouds are on the RSVP list, expected to arrive from the west starting tomorrow.
Now, let’s break down the weather forecast until the clock strikes midnight tomorrow for the Fiji group:
For the Navua-Suva-Nausori, Tailevu-Ra-Naitasiri areas, eastern Macuata and Cakaudrove provinces, Kadavu, Taveuni, and our fabulous smaller islands, as well as Lau and Lomaiviti groups, here’s what to expect:
Today: Expect a flirtation with partly cloudy skies, sprinkled with the occasional brief shower. A wild afternoon or evening thunderstorm could be crashing the party.
Tomorrow: The clouds are getting a tad more serious, with showers and odds of thunderous applause in the form of afternoon or evening thunderstorms. Isolated heavy downpours are on the cards, possibly inviting a little flash flooding around those low-lying troublemaker areas.
For the rest of Fiji:
Today: Enjoy a mostly fine day with just a shy afternoon or evening shower or two and maybe a thunderstorm looking to make an entrance.
Tomorrow: The clouds and showers will be back, bringing some cheeky afternoon or evening thunderstorms. Isolated downpours will be keeping things interesting, with localized heavy falls leading to some splashy adventures in low-lying areas.
Northeasterly winds will be blowing in with moderate confidence, while the seas stay at a moderate hum.
Looking ahead to Friday: Expect more cloud coverage with occasional showers and those ever-so-charming isolated thunderstorms hanging around over Serua-Namosi, Navua-Suva-Nausori, Tailevu-Naitasiri-Ra, eastern Macuata, Cakaudrove, southern Bua, Lau, Lomaiviti groups, Kadavu, and nearby small islands. Elsewhere, it will be partly cloudy with some afternoon or evening showers and that pesky thunderstorm again. Hopefully, they’ll put on a good show!
Here’s the rundown for specific areas:
For Navua / Suva / Nausori: Partly cloudy with brief showers today and a more elaborate cloudy performance with some showers and hefty storms tomorrow.
For Nadi / Lautoka / Ba: Brilliant weather until the shy afternoon or evening showers and thunderstorms decide to show their face today. Tomorrow will bring partly cloudy skies with sneaky afternoon or evening showers and those loveable thunderstorms.
For Sigatoka/Coral Coast: Enjoy fine weather today with some playful afternoon or evening shower shenanigans and thunderstorms. Tomorrow looks to bring a similar story with that ever-present thunderstorm.
For Tavua/ Rakiraki: Partly cloudy in Rakiraki with a friendly shower or two today, and a more cloud-kissed tomorrow featuring thunderstorms likely to steal the show.
For Yasawa/Mamanuca group: Enjoy fine weather today apart from an afternoon sprinkle of showers and thunderstorms. Tomorrow will see a few more clouds gracing us, followed by those rambunctious thunderstorms.
For Labasa: A pleasant day is in store apart from those cheeky afternoon and evening showers and thunderstorms today. Tomorrow? You guessed it—expect some drama with the thunderstorm!
For Savusavu: Partly cloudy with a quick deal of showers today. Tomorrow brings an even cloudier stage with thunderstorms lining up.
For Lau and Lomaiviti group: Expect weather that seems a bit indecisive today, with brief showers stealing glances. Tomorrow, the clouds ramp up with some heavy rains in the mix.
For Kadavu: Fine weather will flirt with sporadic showers today. Watch out for tomorrow’s cloudy spells with those ever-present thunderstorms.
For Rotuma: Our dear island will also be feeling some cloudy vibes, bringing a mix of showers and isolated thunderstorms along for the ride.
Stay dry, but if you do venture out, remember to bring your umbrella and perhaps some popcorn—it might just make for an entertaining outdoor show!
