So, here’s the scoop! A sluggish trough of low pressure has decided to set up camp over southern Fiji, bringing along a few clouds and showers that have been particularly generous to the southern and eastern regions. It seems this weather system is in no rush to leave, as it plans to make a leisurely stroll northward today, spreading its “charming” weather across the entire Fiji group in the coming days.

Now, what’s in store for the Fiji group today until midnight? Well, prepare yourself for occasional showers and a few lively thunderstorms—think of them as the island’s way of throwing a party! Isolated heavy downpours will likely crash the festivities, especially over Navua-Suva-Nausori, Serua-Namosi, Tailevu North, Naitasiri-Ra, and many other familiar spots. As the day progresses, expect these showers to become more frequent, eventually transforming into lovely rain—perfect for getting cozy indoors or testing your umbrella’s mettle.

The winds will be feeling a little cheeky today, blowing from the southeast to northeast at a moderate pace, with the occasional fresh gust just to keep things interesting. And if you’re planning on hitting the waves, be warned: moderate to rough seas lurk out there.

Looking ahead to Monday: More rain is on the way, heavy at times, along with a bunch of thunderstorms showing up over Navua-Suva-Nausori and surrounding areas. If those isolated heavy falls make you anxious, keep an eye out as they might lead to some flash flooding in low-lying areas. In other parts, showers will continue to drop in uninvited, with the occasional thunderstorm thrown in for extra effect.
