A heavy rain warning is currently in effect across the Fiji islands as an active trough of low pressure is anticipated to approach from the north today. According to the Nadi Weather Office, residents can expect occasional heavy rainfall and thunderstorms, with the most severe conditions likely to affect the northern regions before spreading across the islands by tomorrow.
The weather office has highlighted that localized heavy rainfall could lead to flash flooding, particularly in low-lying areas. In addition to this warning, isolated afternoon or evening thunderstorms are also forecast for southern and interior parts of Viti Levu. Areas such as Sigatoka, interior Nadroga-Navosa, Serua-Namosi, Navua, Suva, Nausori, Naitasiri, southern Bua, and Cakaudrove should be prepared for these weather conditions.
This alert serves as an important reminder for residents and visitors to stay informed and take necessary precautions. While heavy rain can be disruptive, it is also vital for replenishing local water supplies and supporting the lush ecosystems that Fiji is known for. By adopting safety measures and staying vigilant, communities can better navigate these challenging weather conditions.
