Weather Update
Hey there, weather enthusiasts! Grab your umbrellas and prepare for some adventure, because the weather has decided to throw a party over the Lau and Lomaiviti groups, Kadavu, and a few smaller islands! Yes, the heavy rain alert is still going strong, and it looks like Mother Nature has really outdone herself!
Right now, there’s a sluggish trough of low pressure just lounging about in the eastern parts of the group, while another one is hanging out down south. Together, they’re serving up a delightful menu of clouds and rain, guaranteed to keep your spirits dampened (and not just from the moisture). This festive weather is expected to stick around for a few days, so make sure you’re stocked up on hot cocoa!
Here’s the forecast leading up to midnight tonight: Get ready for some occasional rain, with the possibility of heavy showers and a few rumbles of thunder over all the exciting areas mentioned above. The eastern half of Viti Levu and Cakaudrove are in for a wild ride too! But don’t worry, if you find yourself elsewhere, you might just encounter some fine weather, though a few afternoon or evening showers could still crash the party.
Heads up, though! Localized heavy downpours might throw a tantrum and lead to flash flooding in low-lying areas, so keep an eye on your favorite puddle-jumping spots!
As for winds, they’ll be moderate and easterly, while the seas remain moderately spirited—perfect for your surfing ambitions provided you keep your eye out for those rogue waves!
Looking ahead to Saturday, you can expect more of the same: occasional rain and perhaps a few thunderstorms bringing isolated heavy falls over the Lau and Lomaiviti groups, as well as the eastern half of Viti Levu. So, if you were hoping for a sunny escape, you might be better off perfecting your rain dance instead.
Here’s the breakdown for some specific areas:
– Navua/Suva/Nausori: Prepare for occasional rain, heavy at times, and a few surprise thunderstorms. Remember, they’re just here to keep you on your toes!
– Nadi/Lautoka/Ba: You’ll have a mixed bag, with fine weather except for those cheeky afternoon/evening showers and thunderstorms.
– Sigatoka/Coral Coast: Looks like it will be fine, with a similar afternoon/evening shower and thunderstorm routine.
– Tavua/Rakiraki: Cloudy periods with a sprinkle of showers and a dash of thunderstorms. Don’t say we didn’t warn you!
– Yasawa/Mamanuca: Fine weather, but don’t let your guard down—afternoon/evening showers and thunderstorms are lurking.
– Labasa: You’ll see some cloudy periods with showers and the occasional thunderous visitor.
– Savusavu: Occasional rain, heavy at times, will be your afternoon companion.
And let’s not forget about our island friends in Rotuma, where the easterly winds will keep things brisk, mixed with cloudy periods, some showers, and isolated thunderstorms.
So there you have it, folks! Keep your raincoats handy, your spirits high, and embrace the wet and wild days ahead!
