A heavy rain warning is currently in effect for the western and northern regions of Fiji as a low-pressure trough brings cloud cover and rain to these areas. This weather pattern is expected to expand throughout the rest of the country by tomorrow.
A north to easterly wind flow is currently influencing the weather across Fiji. The Northern Division, Yasawa and Mamanuca groups, Viti Levu, and adjacent smaller islands are forecasted to experience occasional rain, which may be heavy at times, along with possible thunderstorms.
There is a risk of isolated thunderstorms accompanying heavy rainfall, which can lead to flash flooding in low-lying areas. Residents should prepare for possible disruptions to daily activities due to wet roads and decreased visibility resulting from the inclement weather conditions.
The Fiji Meteorological Service plans to issue its next weather bulletin at 10:30 PM tonight.
In light of this situation, it’s essential for communities to stay informed and take necessary precautions to ensure their safety during this period of heavy rainfall. While the weather may present challenges, the hope is that these timely alerts will help mitigate risks and keep residents safe.
