A heavy rain warning has been issued for the western and northern regions of Fiji as a trough of low pressure brings cloud and rain to these areas. This weather system is expected to gradually extend its impact across the entire nation by tomorrow.

Currently, a north to easterly wind pattern is affecting the weather throughout Fiji. The Northern Division, Yasawa and Mamanuca groups, Viti Levu, and nearby smaller islands can anticipate occasional rain, with some periods of heavy downpours and possible thunderstorms.

There is a risk of isolated thunderstorms that could lead to heavy rainfall, increasing the likelihood of flash flooding in low-lying areas. The adverse weather conditions may disrupt daily activities due to wet roadways and decreased visibility.

The Fiji Meteorological Service is set to issue its next weather bulletin at 10:30 PM tonight, providing further updates on the evolving situation.

Overall, while heavy rain and thunderstorms pose challenges, they also replenish water resources crucial for agriculture and daily life. Communities are encouraged to remain vigilant, stay updated with weather forecasts, and take necessary precautions to ensure safety during this weather event.
