Partly cloudy skies and brief, scattered showers are expected for several coastal and island areas through tomorrow, while much of the group will remain largely fine apart from isolated afternoon or evening showers. Southeasterly winds will be moderate to fresh and seas are forecast to be moderate to rough.
Brief showers are likely over Serua‑Namosi, Navua‑Suva‑Nausori, Tailevu‑Naitasiri‑Ra, southern Bua, Cakaudrove, Taveuni and nearby smaller islands, as well as the Lau and Lomaiviti groups, Kadavu and adjacent isles. Elsewhere conditions should be mainly fine with the chance of an isolated shower late in the day. Mariners and people using coastal areas should note the moderate to rough seas and the freshening southeasterly winds.
The outlook for Wednesday brings more cloud and some showers to the same areas, with eastern Macuata also included. Afternoon thunderstorms are possible over Viti Levu and Vanua Levu, so outdoor plans in those areas could be affected by brief, heavier rain and thunder later in the day.
