effect Savusavu ;-
Now we all know Gribs over 4 days are alittle suspect
but Gribs do often indicate
possible bad weather , there doesn't appear to be any
weather to worry about out past 4-10 days forward, although
a circular system developes to the SSW of Fiji it
appears to move SSE the ESE –SE under Fiji, it will bring rain to
Savusavu , not a problem for us.
