Weather Update: April 4, 2025
Let’s dive into today’s weather report straight from the National Weather Forecasting Centre in Nadi, where the coffee is strong and the predictions are even stronger!
Good news for those in Viti Levu’s eastern half! The heavy rain alert has been lifted, so you can leave your flood insurance at home today. That’s right, the amiable low-pressure system has decided to take a vacation and is now drifting off into the sunset. Just when we thought it was going to set up camp forever!
Today, you can expect a hodgepodge of clouds and showers over Serua-Namosi, Navua-Suva-Nausori, Tailevu, Naitasiri, Ra, Southern Bua, and Cakaudrove. So keep the umbrella handy unless you fancy an impromptu shower – because trust us, the weather has got a flair for the dramatic!
Meanwhile, the Lau, Lomaiviti, Kadavu, and nearby smaller islands will be enjoying fine weather, albeit with a few cheeky showers trying to steal the limelight in the afternoon or evening. Everyone else, expect a mingling of sunshine with some isolated thunderstorms that could pop out for a surprise cameo.
Beware of those localised heavy downpours, as they might just be more than your garden can handle and could lead to some flash flooding in low-lying spots.
As we sail into Sunday, think of it as a repeat performance! Cloudy periods and showers will return for our friendly neighbors in Serua-Namosi, Navua-Suva-Nausori, Tailevu, Naitasiri, Ra, Southern Bua, Cakaudrove, Lau, and Lomaiviti groups. Elsewhere, the forecast is mostly sunny until those afternoon or evening showers sneak back in.
Now, let’s break it down region by region:
– **Navua / Suva / Nausori:** Expect clouds and showers today, followed by more cloudy spells with showers on Sunday.
– **Nadi / Lautoka / Ba:** Enjoy the sun while it lasts; just look out for sneaky afternoon showers and an occasional thunderstorm.
– **Sigatoka / Coral Coast:** It’s going to be a mix of clouds and showers today, but Sunday holds hope for drier spells.
