Weather Bulletin
Attention, everyone! Gather ’round as we unveil the latest drama from our sky! Issued from the National Weather Forecasting Centre in Nadi at the bright hour of 5:30 AM this fine Friday morning on April 18th, 2025, there’s a heavy rain warning looming like a grumpy friend who just won’t leave the party.
What’s happening? An active trough of low pressure has decided to park itself over Fiji, and it appears it’s in no rush to leave. It’s expected to slowly glide eastward, aiming for a scenic view by Sunday.
You might want to keep your umbrellas handy, as the forecast for tonight across the delightful islands of Fiji promises periods of rain—heavy at times and a few dramatic thunderstorms, especially over Yasawa, Mamanuca, Viti Levu, Kadavu, and their tiny island buddies. The deluge should ease into showers tomorrow from the west, but don’t put those umbrellas away just yet!
Elsewhere, expect sporadic rain with some intense rainfall and a few spontaneous thunderstorms to keep things interesting. This rain show will pick up frequency tomorrow, before making a gracious exit by late Saturday.
Heads up for potential flash flooding in low-lying areas, where the water might just decide to throw a surprise party! Winds are moderate to fresh and seas are moderate to rough—so maybe skip the windsurfing plans for today.
Here’s what you can expect tomorrow:
– For Navua/Suva/Nausori: More rain, heavy vibes, and likely some thunder to keep the pets on their toes, easing to lighter showers on the morrow.
– For Sigatoka/Coral Coast: A similar story – rain, heavy at times, with hints of thunderstorms. Showers may follow later.
– For Nadi/Lautoka/Ba: Prepare for persistent rain and the odd thunderstorm, transforming into showers as the weekend approaches.
– For Tavua/Rakiraki: You’re in for a rinse cycle too, with heavy rain and thunderstorms expected to start easing into showers tomorrow.
– For Yasawa/Mamanuca group: Same rain-soaked saga with the potential for some isolated heavy falls.
– For Labasa and Savusavu: Occasional rain and thunderstorms are joining the party, with a little bit more excitement expected tomorrow.
– For Lau/Lomaiviti and Kadavu: It’s pretty much a rain theme across the board, wrapping up into showers later.
– For our friends in Rotuma: Showers and thunderstorms are on the guest list too, accompanied by moderate winds and seas.
So, grab your galoshes, stay safe, and let’s hope the clouds remember to take a break soon!
