PUBLIC AND MARINE SEVERE WEATHER INFORMATION NUMBER SIXTEEN [C16] FOR SĀMOA.
ISSUED BY THE SĀMOA METEOROLOGY DIVISION AT 5:00 PM
FRIDAY 23rd JANUARY 2026.
VALID: HEAVY RAIN WARNING
VALID: FLOOD ADVISORY
VALID: WIND ADVISORY
VALID: MARINE ADVISORY
An increase in rainfall activities and gusty wind periods is anticipated for Samoa with isolated thunderstorms. The changes in our weather situation are due to an active convergence zone with associated deep convection that is approaching the island from the North tonight. This weather system is expected to remain just North of Samoa over the weekend; however, unstable weather conditions are expected to persist across the country. In addition, the arrival of gusty wind periods is likely to elevate waves and swells to all marine waters of Samoa. Therefore, the Heavy rain warning and Flood advisory remain valid for all of Samoa, while the Wind Advisory now in effect, as well as the Marine Advisory for all marine waters.
Potential Impacts:
Heavy downpours with poor visibility, foggy and slippery roads over mountain passes and ranges, and pooling near roadsides and waterways. Possible landslides and flooding in major rivers as well as low-lying areas. Expect gusty winds during heavy rain. Strong currents with rough seas.
[The next Severe Weather Information will be issued at 5:00 a.m. tomorrow]
