A heavy rain alert is currently in effect across the entire Fiji Group, as unstable weather patterns are expected to result in widespread rainfall and increased possibilities of flooding. The Fiji Meteorological Service reports that moist winds originating from the north to northeast are influencing the weather conditions in the region.
Adding to the precipitation concerns, a trough of low pressure approaching from the west is anticipated to bring additional rain tomorrow. This system heightens the risk of flash flooding, particularly in low-lying and flood-prone areas, including informal settlements and communities situated near rivers and creeks.
The potential for flooding extends to businesses, roads, and Irish crossings, which may disrupt traffic and cause challenges for commuters. Authorities are urging motorists to exercise heightened caution while traveling during this weather event.
To ensure safety, members of the public are advised to stay vigilant, refrain from crossing flooded roads or waterways, and heed any official weather updates. The Fiji Meteorological Service is closely monitoring the situation and will provide updates as necessary.
In light of these weather warnings, the community is encouraged to prepare for potential disruptions while looking out for each other.
