Attention, island dwellers! It appears that a gentle low-pressure trough has decided to set up camp over the Fiji group, bringing along some clouds and showers. Just a friendly reminder to keep your umbrellas handy—it’s not a party without a little rain, after all! Meanwhile, southeast winds are blowing through like a gentle reminder that it’s time to enjoy some breezy vistas.
So, what’s in store for the Fiji group until midnight tomorrow? Expect some cloudy periods and showers over our beloved Serua-Namosi, Navua-Suva-Nausori, Tailevu-Naitasiri-Ra, Eastern Macuata, Cakaudrove, Lau and Lomaiviti groups, Kadavu, and the delightful little islands nearby, Taveuni, Qamea, Cikobia, and Yasawa. And just when you thought it couldn’t get more exciting—afternoon or evening thunderstorms are crashing in, bringing heavy falls! Yes, it’s going to be a real “thunder and lightning” situation!
Now, if you live elsewhere, feel free to bask in the fine weather while dodging the occasional isolated afternoon or evening shower—perfect for those spontaneous outdoor activities!
The winds are playing nice, blowing in from the east to southeast. They’ll be gradually turning into a southeasterly breeze by tomorrow—no one likes a stubborn wind!
Now, let’s take a quick peek at the cheeky forecast for Saturday: expect overcast periods and some showers strutting their stuff in the same areas mentioned earlier. But don’t fret—everywhere else should enjoy fine weather with just a sprinkle of those isolated afternoon or evening showers.
