Rain is forecasted to gradually affect most regions of Fiji starting tomorrow, according to the latest update from the Fiji Meteorological Service issued at 10:30 PM.
A heavy rain alert is currently in place for several areas, including Vanua Levu, the Yasawa and Mamanuca Groups, as well as the western and northern sections of Viti Levu—specifically from Momi to Nadi, and stretching through Lautoka, Ba, Tavua to Rakiraki. Additionally, this alert applies to the interior regions of Ba, Ra, Nadroga/Navosa, Serua/Namosi, Naitasiri, and Tailevu Provinces.
The Fiji Meteorological Service explained that a trough of low pressure is bringing cloud cover and rainfall to the western and northern portions of the islands, which is anticipated to extend to the remainder of the country by tomorrow. Residents should expect temporary periods of rain, with heavy downpours and occasional thunderstorms.
There are potential risks associated with this weather system, including isolated flash flooding in low-lying areas and decreased visibility on the roads, which may pose challenges for travelers.
It’s essential for individuals and communities to stay updated on weather conditions as the situation develops. Preparedness can help mitigate the effects of heavy rainfall.
In summary, while adverse weather conditions are expected to disrupt daily activities, the necessary precautions and community cooperation can contribute to safety and resilience during this period of heavy rain.
