A flash flood warning has been issued for the eastern half of Viti Levu, encompassing areas from Serua–Namosi to Navua–Suva–Nausori and Tailevu–Naitasiri–Ra, including Rakiraki, as well as the Northern Division.
The Fiji Meteorological Service has indicated that a trough of low pressure located to the northeast is gradually moving southward and is expected to impact the region in the coming days, likely resulting in periods of localized heavy rain.
According to the Fiji Flash Flood Guidance System, significant hazards are anticipated due to flash flooding, which may be triggered by intense and isolated downpours.
Residents in low-lying areas are being urged to stay vigilant, as there is a risk of flooding affecting drains, small streams, low water bridges, Irish crossings, roads, and properties. Authorities are encouraging the public to keep updated on the situation and to take necessary precautions to ensure safety.
