Situation: The lovely island of Fiji is feeling a bit under the weather, thanks to a charming little trough of low pressure hanging over the eastern parts—like that overly friendly relative you can’t shake. Moods might be a tad moody with clouds and showers wanting to join the party, while southerly to northerly winds are keeping things breezy.
Forecast until midnight tomorrow for the Fiji group:
Brace yourselves for cloudy periods, occasional showers, and even the chance of a thunderstorm over the Coral Coast to Navua, the Greater Suva/Nausori-Tailevu area, and other picturesque spots. It’s like a choose-your-own-adventure book, but with more rain! Elsewhere? Fine weather will poke its head out, but don’t be surprised by a few afternoon or evening showers that might decide to crash the party. Expect moderate to fresh winds and seas that are moderate to rough—definitely not for the faint of heart or those with weak stomachs!
Looking ahead to Saturday: Expect a similar forecast with cloudy periods, scattered showers, and the thrilling possibility of thunderstorms—because who doesn’t enjoy an auditory light show? Isolated heavy rainfall may bring about flash flooding in low-lying areas, just in case your plans didn’t already involve dancing with puddles.
