Weather Alert – Oh, the Weather Drama!
Brought to you by the National Weather Forecasting Center in Nadi at a cozy 7:30 PM on Wednesday, May 21, 2025.
Listen up, Fiji! It looks like we’ve got an east to southeast wind doing a little cha-cha across the islands tonight. Exciting, right? But wait—there’s more! A large, moody trough, packed with clouds and showers, is making its grand entrance from the north this Friday, and another one will follow suit from the south. When it rains, it pours, but in this case, it looks like it might rain showers!
The forecast up to midnight tomorrow shows some cloudy moments—great for the dramatic folks among us—across Serua-Namosi, Navua-Suva-Nausori, Tailevu-Naitasiri, Ra, Southern Bua, Cakaudrove, Kadavu, and their tiny island friends like Lau and Lomaiviti. Meanwhile, if you’re elsewhere, count yourself lucky with mainly fine weather! Moderate east to southeast winds will be here, flexing their muscles occasionally, leading to moderate to rough seas. So, the sea might be a tad grumpy, but hey, it should still be manageable!
Now, for Friday’s forecast: Expect occasional showers in the previously mentioned areas, perhaps while you’re trying to enjoy a barbecue. Not to worry; the skies will likely be mainly fine elsewhere, with just some brief afternoon or evening sprinkles. Night temperatures will be cool enough for anyone contemplating wearing two sweaters at once—no judgment here!
Now let’s dive into the specifics for some locations:
– **Navua / Suva / Nausori**: Prepare for cloudy spells, perfect for introspective thoughts, followed by a few showers. Friday brings more of the same, with a side of cool nighttime temperatures.
– **Sigatoka/Coral Coast**: You’re in luck! Mainly fine weather ahead. Just a little sprinkle to keep things interesting Friday afternoon.
