PUBLIC SEVERE WEATHER INFORMATION NUMBER ONE (D01) FOR SAMOA.
ISSUED BY THE SAMOA METEOROLOGY DIVISION AT 5:00 AM
WEDNESDAY 21st MAY 2025.

VALID: HEAVY RAIN ADVISORY

A light southeast wind flow now prevails over Samoa. Meanwhile, a high pressure system centred west of New Zealand is expected to intensify as it migrates further eastward by tomorrow. The movement of this system will likely intensify Southeast winds of 25-35 km/h across southern areas of Samoa converging with Easterlies of 15-25 km/h in the evening. This convergence zone is forecasted to generate severe weather conditions over the islands by tomorrow through Saturday. Therefore, the Heavy Rain Advisory is now in force for all land areas of Samoa. As for today, expect partly cloudy conditions with isolated showers, moderate falls and a few thunderstorms likely in some areas.

Potential Impacts:

Periods of heavy downpours with poor visibility, foggy and slippery roads over mountain passes and ranges, and pooling near roadsides and waterways. Expect gusty periods during rain.

(The next severe weather information will be issued at 5:00 p.m. today.)
