Weather Update
Greetings, weather warriors! It’s 5:30am on Thursday the 13th of February 2025, and we’ve got a delightful forecast straight from the National Weather Forecasting Centre Nadi!
So, here’s the scoop: a lovely north to northeast wind is currently auditioning for the lead role over Fiji, while a sassy trough of low pressure loiters to the south, planning to move northward with a dramatic flourish. It’s ready to sprinkle some moisture into our lives (thanks, trough!).
Now, let’s get into the nitty-gritty of what to expect until midnight tonight across our beautiful Fiji Islands:
For our charming folks in the interior parts of Viti Levu—think Sigatoka all the way through Navua, and Suva flirting with Korovou, alongside our Southern pals in Vanua Levu—brace yourselves for a bit of cloud cover accompanied by a sprinkle of showers and occasional thunderstorms! Localized heavy falls could lead to a splashy situation in low-lying and flood-prone areas. So, keep those rubber boots handy!
Over in the Lau and Lomaiviti groups, expect more of that cloudy allure with showers and a few dramatic thunderstorms to keep things spicy.
Elsewhere, the weather charmers are calling for generally fine weather, but don’t be surprised if a surprise afternoon shower or casual evening thunderstorm makes an appearance. Rain will start rolling in from the west later today for those who like a good plot twist in their forecast!
Winds are playing a gentle and fresh game from the north to northeast, with a transition to northwest today. That’s right—shift happens!
Expect moderate to rough seas, so keep your sea legs ready!
Now, a quick look at the forecast for Friday:
– Western Division, Macuata, and Northern Bua province will see occasional rain, and hold on to your umbrellas because isolated heavy falls are expected.
– Elsewhere, it’s cloudy with promises of afternoon or evening showers and some vibrant thunderstorms making a guest appearance.
And here’s what’s on the agenda for our various locations:
**Navua / Suva / Nausori**: Bring out the cloud dancers for some showers and isolated thunderstorms. Flash flooding could crash the party, especially in flood-prone areas.
– **Nadi / Lautoka / Ba**: You’ll enjoy mostly fine weather, but keep an eye out for possible showers and thunderstorms—just don’t be caught off guard by Mother Nature!
– **Sigatoka/Coral Coast**: Clouds and sporadic showers with a flash flood warning in low-lying areas—cue dramatic music!
– **Tavua/Rakiraki**: A mostly fine day, but with a chance of those afternoon and evening showers popping up like unwanted guests.
– **Yasawa/Mamanuca group**: Reigning fine weather aside from a few cheeky afternoon/evening showers—nothing too serious!
– **Labasa**: Generally fine, but brace for a few afternoon or evening showers and some thunder—just to keep it interesting!
– **Savusavu**: Expect cloudy skies, showers, and possibly a thunderstorm. Flash flooding could add to the drama.
– **Lau/Lomaiviti**: Cloudy periods, showers, and thunderstorms are on the horizon.
– **Kadavu**: Enjoying mostly fine weather, but a few evening showers are a possibility.
– **Rotuma**: A slow-moving trough is orchestrating cloudy skies with showers and isolated thunderstorms. Moderate northerly winds and seas will keep you company.
Buckle up for an entertaining day ahead, and remember: when life gives you a thunderstorm, dance in the rain!
