A heavy rain advisory is currently in effect for several regions in Fiji, including the Yasawa and Mamanuca Groups, the Northern Division, the eastern section of Viti Levu, and the Lau and Lomaiviti Groups, along with Kadavu and nearby smaller islands. The Fiji Meteorological Service has reported that a stationary trough of low pressure is responsible for the anticipated heavy rainfall, which is expected to continue until tomorrow evening.
Residents in these areas are urged to remain vigilant for localized heavy rain, which has the potential to cause flash flooding, particularly in low-lying zones. Local communities are encouraged to stay updated with the latest weather forecasts and take the necessary precautions to ensure their safety.
This warning follows previous notices regarding a similar trough of low pressure affecting these regions, underscoring the importance of community awareness and preparation. With the threat of flash flooding, individuals in at-risk locations should remain particularly cautious.
On a positive note, while heavy rainfall poses challenges, it also contributes to replenishing vital water sources for agricultural needs and the overall environment. By fostering preparedness and community solidarity, residents can better cope with adverse weather conditions and emerge stronger from such events.
