The Nadi Weather Office says cloudy periods with some showers over Northern division, Lami-Suva-Nasinu-Nausori-Korovou, interior areas of Tailevu North-Naitasiri, coastal and interior areas of Nadroga/Navosa-Serua/Namosi, Lau and Lomaiviti groups, Kadavu and nearby smaller islands will be affected.
