Warm greetings to the Hudson Valley from Fiji 🌴

Update #572

You can’t get this kind of weather report from the 6 o’clock news!

My travels this week take me to the South Pacific tropics, to the palm-fringed perfection that is Fiji.

It’s not all fun and no work — I’m here to help Pacific Island meteorological services prepare for the impacts of El Niño in the months ahead.

I hope you don’t mind my non-traditional forecast style today… from the beach! 🏖️

Good thing that the forecast is pretty straightforward this week: mostly sunny 😎

• Dry conditions are expected from Monday-Friday as temperatures warm well into the 60s — even 70s are looking likely between Wednesday and Friday!

• Morning temperatures will be in the mid 30s on Tuesday, but it looks like the region will be frost-free for at least one more week.

• The warm, dry weather is favored to continue into next weekend, but…

• An Arctic air mass may spill southward across the area during the week of October 30th, bringing sharply cooler conditions and the potential for the first frost 🥶
