A trough of low pressure is currently impacting the Fiji Islands, moving in from the west and anticipated to extend southeast across the entire nation. The latest weather forecast indicates that residents can expect a series of cloudy periods followed by showers, with isolated heavy rainfall predicted for several regions including Nadi, Lautoka, Ba, Tavua, Rakiraki, Tailevu North, Naitasiri, Ra, eastern Macuata, Cakaudrove, as well as the Yasawa and Mamanuca groups, Kadavu, and nearby smaller islands.
In addition to the rainy conditions, the forecast warns of the potential for isolated thunderstorms during the afternoon and evening, which could lead to flash flooding in vulnerable low-lying areas. These showers are expected to gradually spread across the rest of the Fiji Islands later today.
While the weather may pose certain challenges, it is also a timely reminder for residents to prepare for possible flooding and to stay vigilant as the rainy conditions develop. With the right precautions, communities can navigate this weather system safely.
