A low-pressure system currently affects the Fiji Group, bringing significant cloud cover and heavy rainfall as it slowly moves eastward, according to the Fiji Meteorological Service’s report on Friday. The showers are anticipated to impact various regions, including Suva, Nausori, Tailevu, Sigatoka, Coral Coast, as well as the interiors of Ra-Rakiraki, Naitasiri, Serua, Namosi, Lau, and the Lomaiviti Group.
In addition to heavy rain, the forecast raises concerns about localized flash flooding in low-lying and vulnerable areas due to the potential for intense rainfall. While rain patterns will dominate today, the outlook for Sunday shows a shift to cloudy periods with occasional showers in many of the previously mentioned regions, although more favorable conditions with fine weather could be expected elsewhere, interrupted by isolated afternoon or evening showers.
This weather event highlights the importance of preparedness and safety measures in affected areas. Residents should remain vigilant, particularly in flood-prone zones, to ensure their well-being during this weather pattern.
In summary, while heavy showers and potential flooding pose challenges for Fiji, the upcoming forecast presents some opportunities for clearer conditions in the days ahead. Staying informed and prepared can make all the difference for those impacted.
