Attention, Fijians! Grab your umbrellas and brace yourselves—Mother Nature is hosting quite the wet party across the islands! A very heavy warning is still in effect for the entire Fiji group, so you might want to swap your flip-flops for some galoshes. And just when you thought it couldn’t get any wetter, a flash flood warning is also keeping us on our toes. If you want to know more, check out the updates at https://www.met.gov.fj/alerts/.
As if that wasn’t enough, strong winds are making their way to those cozy coastal areas like Yasawa and the Mamanuca groups. Expect northwesterly winds averaging about 45 km/hr, which is just strong enough to make your hair stand up. Hold onto your hats, folks—especially in Nadi, Lautoka, Ba, Rakiraki, and the other nearby locales!
We have an active trough of low pressure hanging around like an unexpected guest, bringing with it cloud cover and rain. Not just any rain, mind you, but ‘occasional to periods of rain—heavy at times’—so be prepared for a splash zone! Thunderstorms are also in attendance, especially in Suva, Nausori, Rakiraki, Ba, and their surrounding areas.
Tomorrow’s forecast continues the trend of wet and wild weather. With similar conditions expected, it’s probably a good time to binge-watch your favorite shows while tapping your toes to the rhythm of raindrops.
Heading into Thursday? Get ready for even stronger northerly winds, gusting up to 55 km/hr, making it feel like your kava bowl might just take off. Expect ongoing showers and thunderstorms, so keep your puddle-jumping gear handy!
For more localized weather updates, here’s what’s coming your way:
– **Navua/Suva/Nausori**: Rain, heavy at times, with a min of 24°C and max of 31°C today. Tomorrow? Same theatrical performance with a little more thunder.
– **Nadi/Lautoka/Ba**: Expect those ‘northerly winds’ to sweep in like an excited dog with a new toy! Min of 24°C, max of 30°C.
– **Taveuni**: Even those coconut palms are going to be dancing with northerly winds reaching 45 km/hr! Enjoy some heavy spells of rain today with a min of 24°C and a max of 29°C.
And that goes for most areas across Fiji, including Savusavu, Kadavu, and even Rotuma! The skies have got their raincoats on, so let’s just roll with the punches—after all, what’s a little rain in paradise?
So whether you’re planning a beach day or an indoor picnic, keep an eye on the sky and enjoy the show!
