Attention, all wind-enthusiasts, kite-flyers, and fans of windswept hairstyles! The strong wind alert flag is flying high for our breezy friends over in Ra-Rakiraki, Southern Bua, Taveuni, and a lovely assembly of smaller islands including the Lau and Lomaiviti groups, Kadavu, and their neighboring pals.
What’s blowing in the breeze, you ask? A mighty high-pressure system parked southwest of Fiji. It’s here to stir things up with fresh to strong southeast winds that mean business. Grab your hats, folks; they’re gunning for top-speed takeoff.
Now, onto the latest forecast that will take you through to the midnight bells tomorrow: For those in the castled hills and ever-charming coastline of Viti Levu, along with the Kadavu islanders, expect cloudy teatime interruptions by brief showers. Meanwhile, the interiors and eastern slopes of Vanua Levu express similar sentiments. Taveuni and its posse of smaller islands won’t escape this cloudy conspiracy, with the Lau and Lomaiviti groups caught in the act, too. Elsewhere across this sunny paradise—lucky you—it’s mainly fine. Night owls take note: the nights will turn cool.
Seas are waving moderately to roughly a hello, so perhaps hold off on that paddleboard adventure for a calmer day. And come Wednesday, the coastal lands can expect southeast winds clocking speeds as they whistle at 45 km/hr. Bumpy waves are on the itinerary, so sailors, hold onto your rudders.
In the cities of Navua, Suva, and Nausori, you’ll be met with clouds trying to rain on your parade with brief showers and nippy nights. Temperatures cheerily fluctuate between a cosy 19°C and a friendly 29°C across these days. Shoutout to the sunlit trio of Nadi, Lautoka, and Ba—your weather says, “Hello sunshine!” Days like these make you feel 30°C fabulous, while the nights whisper a cool goodnight.
Sigatoka and Coral Coast, you’re in for finely tuned weather where each day serenades you with lightness, capped at 29°C and serenely cooling at night. Those at Tavua and Rakiraki, pack an umbrella for the brief showers that Rakiraki plans, surrounded by mainly fine weather, just enough to keep your spirits dry.
Hello to the cloud-shifting Natadradave and Korovou, accustomed to scenery changes, with brief showers over rugged terrains. Be ready for dips overnight. Yasawa and Mamanuca, relish in the fine notes of a weather sonata with cool ends to bright days.
Labasa continues to impress with its commitment to being mainly fine at 31°C by day, while nights are cooler with potential for brilliant stargazing. Savusavu serves its diners cloudy appetizers with showery sides, saving the main course for cool, cozy evenings.
Nabouwalu’s prospects are just peachy, with the added bonus of brisk winds to energize your day. Taveuni steps into line with breezy bravado and a dash of clouds brushing through showers—not enough to dampen the spirits.
As for the Lau and Lomaiviti Group and Kadavu, their clouds are serving small bouts of precipitation with nighttime cooling, alongside winds offering a caressing touch at 45 km/hr.
To the wind warriors of Rotuma, a strong wind warning remains in command. The tropospheric orchestra plays on with the easterly trumpets shouting at 45 km/hr, mellowing out soon. Take cover from the showers, or enjoy them as they briefly shower their applause late into today.
And that concludes the weather show, folks! In either rain, wind, or shine, find the fun in the forecast. Here’s to weathering another beautiful day in Fiji!
