Weather Whirlwind Forecast
Good evening, weather enthusiasts! It’s that time again, and we’ve got more rain than a duck could shake its feathers at. Our friends at the National Weather Forecasting Centre in Nadi are issuing a heavy rain alert for the Western Division, Yasawa, Mamanuca groups, Kadavu, and their tiny island pals. So make sure your umbrellas have their game faces on!
Ladies and gentlemen, it appears we are dealing with a rather lazy trough of low pressure hanging about Fiji, causing plenty of clouds and showers to crash our party. Meanwhile, Tropical Cyclone URMIL is frolicking near Vanuatu and plans to join us soon – moving southeast and bringing along a punchy wind flow that’ll make even the boldest kite shiver in joy!
Now, let’s splish-splash our way into the forecast leading to midnight tomorrow:
For our buddies in the Western Division and Kadavu: get ready for occasional rain showers, with some thunder overhead for dramatic effect! Rain is expected to ramp up with frequent heavy bursts and a few thunderstorms by tomorrow. We’re talking winds strutting in at average speeds of 40km/hr, with gusts that could swipe your hat off at 60km/hr. Seas? Well, let’s just say it’ll be a splash zone out there.
For the Interior and Northeastern parts of the larger islands, expect a similar show: occasional showers and isolated heavy falls with some thunder to liven things up. Keep an eye on that flash flooding in low-lying areas; those puddles have ambitions!
In other news, the forecast for Sunday looks like a rerun of a popular sitcom: for the Western Division and Kadavu, make room for occasional downpours that could get heavy, and don’t be surprised if those thunderclouds drop by for a visit! Winds are set to dance a fresh-to-strong jig, and seas will be reminiscent of a rollercoaster ride.
Let’s break down the specific regions for their weather shenanigans:
Navua / Suva / Nausori: Showers and thrills from the sky, with a high of 30.
Natadradave/Korovou, Sigatoka/Coral Coast, and Nadi / Lautoka / Ba: Expect a similar plot twist of showers and surprise thunderstorms – don’t forget your raincoat!
For Tavua/Rakiraki, Yasawa/Mamanuca, Labasa, Savusavu, Nabouwalu, Taveuni, Lau, Lomaiviti group, and of course, Kadavu: our forecast features the same old drama – showers with heavy surprises and thunder while keeping the temperature around the tidy range of 25 to 30 degrees.
For our friends over in Rotuma, the rain is in the air with occasional heavy showers and a splash of thunder to keep you company.
So, there you have it! Weather’s shaping up to be a thrilling emotional rollercoaster for the rest of your weekend. Be prepared, stay dry (or at least semi-dry), and remember to embrace the magical puddle splashes along the way!
