Fiji is currently experiencing a heavy rain alert for its western and northern regions due to a trough of low pressure bringing in significant cloud cover and rainfall. This weather pattern is expected to expand across the rest of the nation by tomorrow. Presently, a north to easterly wind flow is influencing conditions throughout Fiji.
Forecasts indicate occasional rain, which may be heavy at times, along with possible thunderstorms in the Northern Division, Yasawa and Mamanuca islands, as well as Viti Levu and neighboring smaller islands. There is a risk of isolated thunderstorms that could lead to intense rainfall, potentially resulting in flash flooding in low-lying areas.
Daily activities might be disrupted due to wet road conditions and decreased visibility, making it essential for residents to exercise caution. The Fiji Meteorological Service is set to issue its next weather bulletin at 10:30 PM tonight.
As adverse weather can affect many lives, it’s crucial for communities to stay informed and prepared. This situation not only calls for awareness but also for unity and support among citizens as they navigate the challenges posed by natural events.
