Heavy Rain Alert Across Fiji Group with Flash Flood Risk and Thunderstorms

Weather Update

Good morning, Fiji! If you thought you were dodging raindrops today, think again! A HEAVY RAIN ALERT is currently what the weather gods have served up for the entire Fiji Group. Let’s grab our umbrellas and channel our inner ducks because it looks like we’ll be wading through puddles for a bit.

So what’s cooking in our skies, you ask? Well, there’s a troublesome shallow low pressure system hunkering down near Kadavu, and it has a penchant for lingering around like an unwanted houseguest. This pressure is dragging along a trough and a bunch of clouds that have decided to throw a never-ending rain party over us. And if that’s not enough, our buddy Tropical Depression 03F is taking its sweet time over to the northwest, making sure the clouds don’t get too lonely.

Now, what can you expect today? Occasional rain—heavy, of course, to keep things interesting—plus the potential for a few dramatic thunderstorms roaring in to add some flair. So, if you see lightning, don’t fret; it’s just the sky showing off a little!

With the forecast suggesting persistent heavy downpours, low-lying areas could turn into your very own water parks, so stay vigilant! Prepare for moderate north to northwest winds that might create a ruckus in the heavier rain zones. And don’t forget your sea legs; the waters out there are predicted to be moderate to rough.
