A trough of low pressure is currently positioned to the northeast of Fiji and is anticipated to move southward, leading to increased cloud cover and rainfall in the northern and eastern regions of the country starting tomorrow, according to weather experts.
The Fiji Meteorological Service has issued a forecast indicating that, leading up to midnight, areas including Serua-Namosi, Navua-Suva-Nausori, Naitasiri-Tailevu North, Ra-Rakiraki, Cakaudrove, and the southern Bua province will experience cloudy periods with intermittent showers. This weather pattern is also expected to affect Taveuni, nearby smaller islands, Kadavu, and various islands in the Lau and Lomaiviti groups.
While most of the Fiji Group will enjoy generally fine conditions, isolated afternoon or evening showers are still expected. However, forecasters caution that thunderstorms accompanied by heavy rainfall will likely occur over Viti Levu and Vanua Levu, with localized heavy rainfall raising the risk of flash flooding, particularly in low-lying and vulnerable areas.
Officials encourage residents to remain vigilant and stay updated with the latest weather reports as the situation evolves. This proactive approach can help mitigate the potential impacts of the adverse weather conditions expected in the coming days.
