Weather enthusiasts, buckle up your hats (or anything detachable, really) because a strong wind warning is blowing across the coastal land areas near Ra-Rakiraki, Southern Bua, and beyond. This is not wind for showing off your new hairdo—unless, of course, you fancy the windswept look.
The southeast wind flow is running the show, bringing with it gusts up to a sprightly 45km/hr. Seas will be rougher than your average family-dinner debate, while cloudy periods will bring showers in various locales like Suva, Tailevu-Naitasiri-Ra, and more. Maybe keep that umbrella handy, unless you need an excuse to buy a new one.
Tonight, temperatures will nudge into the “cool” category, perfect for snuggly blankets or hot cocoa by the sea.
Looking ahead to Friday, wind enthusiasts rejoice! Those brisk southeast winds are sticking around like a clingy relative, though they’ll mellow out a bit by evening. Expect the same mischievous showers trying to rain on our parade—though they’ll likely make only cameo appearances in the afternoon. Keep those cozy layers at the ready.
For those in Suva, prepare for periods of clouds and showers with nighttime temps heading to a comfortably cool minimum of 18°C. Meanwhile, over in the sun-drenched regions of Nadi and Lautoka, it’s going to be mainly clear skies with temperatures peaking at a balmy 30°C—ideal if you’re planning to bask in the sun or challenge your neighbor to a BBQ duel.
Travelers to Yasawa and adjacent islands should brace themselves for the windy rigmarole, while those in Labasa will enjoy a gentle weather tease of mainly fine conditions, heating up to a toasty 31°C. Not too shabby, eh?
And over in atmospheric Rotuma, this stern wind warning hoo-ha holds its ground with a steady southeast flow that might get nudged around by a faint pressure trough. It promises mainly fine weather today before it lets clouds and brief showers dance by for an end-of-week cameo.
So, whether you’re bracing against gusts or enjoying the gentle nature-tussles, stay weather-wise and keep those spirits (and kites) high!
