Updated Forecast November 2018 – April 2019 Tropical Cyclone Outlook
Thank you NIWA for the forecasted weather patterns for our region.
The good news is…
The cyclone forecast for Fiji is to expect a “normal” cyclone season. This means we can expect 2-3 cyclones in our area between November 2018 – April 2019.
Preparation
You can read what the difference is between a Typhoon, Cyclone and Hurricane here.
Make sure you are prepared now. Cyclone preparation isn’t fun. Especially when shoppers are going crazy and the candles shelf is empty! A friend of mine didn’t take my warnings and by the time Winston was due to hit he found only small Diwali candles (think the size of one finger!) available.
Ensure you are up to date by checking weather sites (suggestions below) and make sure you have a radio with batteries. If internet or electricity is down radio will keep you informed. My husband prefers Windy.com, here is the link for Fiji co-ordinates https://www.windy.com/-18.151/178.455?-18.041,179.165,8
