Weather Alert: Saturday, April 19, 2025
Attention, Fiji! The heavy rain alert for the Northern Division, Lau and Lomaiviti groups, Kadavu, and a few smaller islands, along with the eastern half of Viti Levu, has officially been canceled. So you can finally put away your ark-building supplies—unless you really like woodwork!
And the flash flood alert? Well, it’s also taken a hike, meaning that low-lying areas can breathe easy (for now).
Now, let’s unpack the weather situation. A playful little trough of low pressure is meandering over our beautiful islands. It’s like that friend who can’t decide whether to stay in one place or not—and honestly, we can relate. Expect some cloud cover and the occasional shower, putting it mildly, until tomorrow.
Here’s the scoop for the remainder of Fiji:
– **Kadavu and Nearby Islands, Lau, and Lomaiviti**: You might want to keep your raincoat handy—occasional showers plus a sprinkle of isolated thunderstorms are part of your forecast. It’s like getting nature’s confetti sprinkled on you.
– **The Rest of Fiji**: Expect cloudy periods and some spectacularly moody weather, leading to afternoon thunderstorms over Vanua Levu and the eastern half of Viti Levu. It’s all about the drama! Watch out for those isolated heavy falls—they could lead to a bit of flash flooding in lower areas.
As for winds, they’ll be moderate to fresh, sashaying from southwest to north. Hold onto your hats!
Looking ahead to Monday:
– Cloudy periods plus brief showers will be the main attractions across Nadroga/Navosa, Serua/Namosi, Navua-Suva, Cakaudrove, Southern Bua, and our lovely islands of Kadavu, Lau, and Lomaiviti. While you folks may have to dodge the occasional rain cloud, the rest of us are likely to enjoy some fine, albeit temperamental, weather—with just a sprinkle of isolated afternoon or evening showers.
Here’s how specific areas are looking for Monday:
– **Navua/Suva/Nausori**: More clouds and a splash of showers.
– **Sigatoka/Coral Coast**: A bit on the cloudy side with some showers, but fine overall—sort of like a mild-mannered villain in a superhero movie.
– **Nadi/Lautoka/Ba**: Cloudy with showers—just your everyday tropical saga continuing.
– **Tavua/Rakiraki**: Buckle up for a cloudy ride with a few showers.
– **Natadradave/Korovou**: Cloudy periods, with your share of afternoon thunderstorm action.

– **For the Lau/Lomaiviti area**: Expect occasional showers and the thrilling possibility of isolated thunderstorms.
– **Kadavu**: You too will see occasional showers and storms in the mix as well.
– **Rotuma**: Finally, we’ve got fine weather with just a few brief showers courtesy of a moist easterly wind flow. Think of it as a gentle caress from Mother Nature.
