Weather Update: Hold onto Your Hats, Fiji!
Good morning, weather warriors! If you’ve got plans this weekend, you might want to ensure your umbrellas are ready for a workout. The forecast for Saturday, February 22, 2025, comes with a friendly reminder: Mother Nature is feeling a tad gusty.
The Northern Division and northeastern parts of Viti Levu (that’s Tailevu North, Ra-Rakiraki all the way up to Tavua), Yasawa, Mamanuca, Lau, and Lomaiviti groups can expect winds that might just help aerate your hair—think strong gusts reaching up to 65 km/h! And for our friends in Kadavu and its tiny companions, you’re not off the hook either; it’s officially a windy party across the islands!
Now, about the rain—if you thought that was just a light drizzle on the horizon, think again! Heavy rain alerts are in place for the Northern Division, Yasawa, Lau, Lomaiviti groups, and the eastern half of Viti Levu (hello, Serua-Namosi, Navua-Suva-Nausori, and more). In fact, you might want to consider trading your raincoat for a lifeboat!
For today, temperatures might make you feel cozy indoors, while rough seas will ensure only the bravest of pirates dare to sail. Expect cloud cover with some scattered showers, especially over southern Bua, Cakaudrove, and Kadavu. If you’re feeling adventurous, you might even encounter squally thunderstorms—just don’t forget your dancing shoes!
As we gaze into the crystal ball for Monday, be prepared for an encore of winds that may just blow your socks off—literally! Winds could gust up to 75 km/h in some areas, making it feel like a hurricane party is in town. And yes, rain remains your downside companion, with heavy periods and about as much enthusiasm as a toddler with a paintbrush.
So, dear inhabitants of Fiji, while the weather may be a little unruly, it also promises a bit of excitement! Stay dry, keep your wellies on hand, and embrace the comedic chaos of nature!
