Weather Update
Well, well, well! It looks like Fiji is preparing for a showdown with some clouds and rain, courtesy of a shy little trough of low pressure lazily hanging over the eastern parts of our beautiful islands. Think of it as the weather’s version of a slow-moving sloth — it’s just taking its sweet time enhancing those northeasterly breezes.
Now, hold onto your umbrellas, because come Tuesday, we’ve got another trough of low pressure rolling in from the west like it’s the star of the show. Expect showers and thunderstorms to crash the party over most of the group, bringing some serious rain vibes.
Forecast up until midnight tomorrow reads: Occasional showers that’ll sometimes bring their heavier twin along for fun — especially in the eastern and interior parts of Viti Levu (hello Serua-Namosi through Navua-Suva-Nausori and up to Tailevu North), as well as parts of Vanua Levu, Taveuni (that’s Cakaudrove and Southern Bua for those keeping score), and our lovely Lau and Lomaiviti groups. Let’s not forget Kadavu and those smaller buddies hanging nearby.
If you’re elsewhere, expect some cloud cover with brief showers. Oh, and don’t be surprised if those cheeky thunderstorms make a grand entrance in the afternoon or evening — and yes, they might bring some heavy falls with them!
Be careful out there, as localized heavy falls could lead to flash flooding in the usual suspect areas — low-lying spots that just can’t get enough of a good drenching.
Winds will be moderate to fresh from the northeast, and things may get a bit gusty, so hang onto your hats! The seas will be moderate to rough, so if you’re planning a sea adventure, maybe save it for another day.
Now, a peek at what Tuesday has in store: expect showers to ramp up, turning into full-blown rain with dramatic thunderstorms in the eastern and interior sections of Viti Levu, as well as parts of Vanua Levu, Taveuni, Lau, Lomaiviti, Kadavu, and those picturesque little islands nearby. For the rest of you, keep your umbrellas handy as cloudy periods will pair with an occasional shower and those pesky afternoon thunderstorms.
Alright, here’s a localized weather synopsis:
For Navua / Suva / Nausori: Expect a game of weather tag with occasional showers and heavy bursts, plus a surprise thunderstorm!
