Get ready for a soggy Saturday, folks! The weather gods have conspired to unleash a heavy rain warning across our beautiful Western Division, Yasawa, Mamanuca groups, Kadavu, and now the entire Fiji Group has been invited to this slippery soirée! So much rain might just prompt a neighborhood water ballet—bring your best swimming gear!
Just like a surprise guest who overstays their welcome, a flash flood alert has popped up for our friends in the Western Division, including Sigatoka, Nadi, Lautoka, Ba, Tavua, and Rakiraki. Plan your water activities wisely, or you might end up with a surprise indoor swimming pool!
Oh, and let’s not forget the winds! You might want to hold onto your hats—strong wind warning alert is in effect! Those northwesterly winds are revving up with speed and excitement that might just turn your trash cans into UFOs if you’re not careful!
Tonight, while you sip on that cup of tea, remember that we have a Category 2 Tropical Cyclone named Urmil just chilling over in Vanuatu. It’s heading our way and bringing along some friends: showers, thunderstorms, and perhaps a bit of rough seas. Just a regular weekend in paradise, right?
Forecast for the Western Division and nearby islands looks like a recurring theme of occasional showers turning into a nonstop rain performance with a potential encore of thunder. Expect a wind speed that might rival your morning jogging pace, gusting up to 75 km/h—so hold onto your umbrellas tightly! Oh, and seas will be so rough they’ll make your stomach curl—hang on tight!
For Macuata and Bua, it’s a similar vibe with sporadic heavy rains and thunderstorms. Make sure your boat or floaties are ready; things might get splashy!
As we look ahead to Monday, remember, it’s still a wet party! Occasional heavy rain and strong winds will be the guests of honor, so don’t forget your rain gear if you’re stepping outside.
For our friends in Navua, Suva, Nausori, and beyond, expect the same gloomy refreshments with heavy showers and possibly a cheeky thunderstorm here and there.
Planning to hang out in Sigatoka, Nadi, Lautoka, or Tavua? Well, today you’ll see strong winds spiraling into action during the day, with a side of heavy rainfall sprinkled on top. The max temp is a cozy 30°C—just the right temperature for a kayak adventure, if you can find your kayak amidst the floodwaters!
So gear up, keep it wet and wild but safe, and maybe build an ark while you’re at it—who knows how long this rain will last!
