Weather Alert
Brought to you by the National Weather Forecasting Centre in Nadi, and this time, we’re awake before the sun!
So here’s the scoop: A lazy trough of low pressure is currently lying around over Vanua Levu, soaking in the atmosphere and generally causing a bit of a ruckus. But don’t worry, it’s expected to amble eastward and leave us be later today. In the meantime, we have a leisurely west to southwest wind flow sweeping over our lovely Fijian islands.
As for today? Well, expect some cloud cover that might look better suited for Netflix than outdoor activities, coupled with a few brief showers—perfect for practicing your rain dance! If you’re in the interior of Viti Levu or Vanua Levu, make sure to keep your umbrellas handy, as isolated afternoon or evening thunderstorms are feeling a bit adventurous.
With moderate winds to tickle your hair and seas that are moderately behaved, it’s a pretty standard day in paradise.
Now, let’s look at tomorrow: Monday is shaping up to be a mostly fine affair, bringing smiles and sunshine to most places. However, some cheeky afternoon or evening showers and thunderstorms are ready to crash the party over Vanua Levu, Taveuni, and other nearby realms. Just a friendly reminder that localized heavy downpours could lead to a bit of flash flooding, so keep your rubber boots handy if you’re in low-lying areas.
