Weather Update: A Moist Edition
Good morning, weather enthusiasts! Buckle up, because today’s forecast is brought to you by the letter C for Cloudy!
Currently, a moist easterly wind is working its magic across Fiji. Meanwhile, a mischievous trough of low pressure is trying to crash the party from the north, bringing along its entourage of clouds and showers. So, if you were thinking about a sunshine-filled day, it might be a good idea to rearrange those plans and grab an umbrella instead!
Tonight, expect cloudy spells with showers and the not-so-rare chance of isolated thunderstorms. Areas like the Interior and eastern parts of Viti Levu – especially from Sigatoka to Tailevu North – should keep their raincoats handy alongside Southern Bua and Cakaudrove, Taveuni, Kadavu, Lau, and Lomaiviti’s many glorious islands. And hey, if you’re wandering elsewhere, expect some partly cloudy conditions with afternoon or evening showers trying to rain on your parade and possibly throwing in a few heavy falls for good measure.
Do remember, those heavy falls could lead to some not-so-lovely flash flooding in low-lying spots. So, don’t let your shoes go for an unexpected swim!
As for the winds, they’ll be moderate, blowing in from the east to southeast, and seas will be moderate, maybe just enough for an average splash.
Looking ahead to Monday, the forecast is similar, because why change a good thing? More clouds, showers, and those pesky thunderstorms are in store for the same regions. The weather gods must be pretty consistent!
