New Year's Long Weekend Weather Forecast

A southeast wind flow is expected over the Fiji group on Saturday 30^th and Sunday 31^st December.

This will bring cloudy periods and some showers over the southern, interior and eastern parts of Viti Levu namely Serua-Namosi-Navua-Suva-Nausori-Naitasiri-Tailevu-eastern Ra areas.

This weather will also affect Kadavu and nearby smaller islands, Lau and Lomaiviti groups, Cakaudrove, eastern Macuata and southern Bua provinces.

Isolated heavy falls can also be experienced especially in the afternoon or evening.

Fine weather can be expected over the rest of the Fiji Group with isolated afternoon or evening showers and thunderstorms.

So, if you are planning to do lovo or outdoor activities during New Year’s Eve, then you need to be mindful of the possibility of isolated 30 minutes or less of heavy rainfall, especially in the afternoon or evening.

On New Year’s Day, a trough of low pressure is likely to bring occasional showers over the Northern Division, the interior and eastern parts of Viti Levu, Kadavu and nearby smaller islands, Yasawa, Lau and Lomaiviti groups. Isolated heavy falls highly likely in these areas.

Mostly fine, sunny weather can be expected over the rest of the Fiji Group. However, there is possibility of isolated showers and thunderstorms especially in the afternoon and evening.

Maximum temperatures expected to be 33^oC around major centers over the country this New Year’s weekend.
