A heavy rain warning has been issued for the entire Fiji Group as an active trough of low pressure brings cloud and rain across the nation. The Fiji Meteorological Office reports that a northerly to easterly wind flow is currently affecting the region.
The latest weather bulletin indicates that Fiji can expect occasional to periods of rain, with some heavy downpours and isolated thunderstorms forecasted. This weather pattern raises concerns about flash flooding, particularly in low-lying areas, informal settlements, and near small streams, which may disrupt traffic and pose risks for daily activities.
As conditions worsen, residents are urged to stay informed and exercise caution on wet roads, where visibility may be significantly reduced.
While the ongoing rain may cause immediate challenges, it also highlights the resilience of the Fijian community and the importance of being prepared for such weather events. With proper precautions, the impact of the weather can be managed effectively.
