Hold onto your hats, folks! The weather is getting a bit tumultuous this weekend, with strong wind warnings blowing through Lau and Lomaiviti groups, Kadavu, and Taveuni. So, if you’ve ever dreamed of trying out your windsurfing skills on dry land, now’s your chance! Just kidding—stay indoors!
The eastern half of Viti Levu is also under a heavy rain alert. Yes, that’s right—after enduring an ongoing moist southeasterly wind flow, it seems we’re going to need arc-building skills for the rain showers expected over Serua-Namosi, Navua-Suva-Nausori, Tailevu-Naitasiri-Ra, Southern Bua, Cakaudrove, Taveuni, and those charming little islands nearby. Expect the clouds to do some heavy lifting today, moving from mild showers to occasional downpours that might just need their own umbrella!
And for those hoping for a sunny break, you may just find a few isolated thunderstorms creating surprise party vibes elsewhere. So, you might want to wear a raincoat with your shorts—you’ll definitely be the fashion icon of uncertain weather!
As for the wind, it’s expected to be a wild ride with southeasterly gusts reaching up to 45 km/h in the aforementioned areas. And let’s not forget, rough seas could mean that mermaid adventures might just stay on hold for now.
Looking ahead towards Sunday, be prepared for a mix of occasional rain and thunder (we’re talking about the dramatic kind), especially over our favorite regions. Elsewhere could see some partly cloudy charm turning into afternoon or evening thunderstorms. Remember: localised heavy rainfall might lead to some flash floods, so be careful not to turn your backyard into a wading pool!
Now let’s break down a few specific areas:
For Navua/Suva/Nausori, expect cloudy periods with some showers and the possibility of a few raging thunderstorms. Tomorrow’s temperatures will be a comfy 24°C to a steamy 30°C, making it a classic flip-flop and umbrella day!
Over at Sigatoka/Coral Coast, you may bask in fine weather – but just when you’re about to leave the house, those sneaky afternoon showers and thunderstorms will make their entrance. Hot tip: Bring an umbrella!
As for our friends in Nadi/Lautoka/Ba, expect relatively sunny vibes, followed by some uninvited thunderstorms and heavy showers. Models suggest a cozy temperature range between 22°C and a balmy 33°C.
Tavua/Rakiraki is also prepping for some action with cloudy weather and isolated thunderstorms lurking about. Tomorrow’s going to range from 23°C to 32°C—perfect for a quick dash to the shop between rain showers.
In Taveuni, get ready for a cloudy, rainy day with the wind showing off its might at up to 45 km/h. Just the right conditions to practice your “whoops-I-just-spilled-my-drink” face.
Whether you’re dodging raindrops or showing Mother Nature who’s boss, stay safe and don’t forget your umbrella or a good book—and maybe your favorite cozy pajamas!
