The Fiji Meteorological Services has released a special weather bulletin alerting residents of heavy rainfall expected in the Central and Eastern divisions, as well as in Southern Bua and Cakaudrove province. This weather pattern is caused by a slow-moving trough of low pressure affecting the region.
Rain and associated cloud cover are anticipated to persist until Thursday. Meanwhile, a shallow Tropical Disturbance (TDO3F) is currently moving southeast away from Fiji.
The National Disaster Risk Management Office (NDRMO) has reported flash flooding incidents in certain areas of the Central Division. They strongly advise the public to avoid crossing or swimming in areas where floodwaters reach above knee level.
Motorists are cautioned to expect potential traffic disruptions and should drive with care. For the latest updates on road conditions, residents can follow the Fiji Roads Authority’s Facebook page or join their Viber community.
The NDRMO encourages everyone to stay informed about weather developments through the Fiji Meteorological Services, the designated authority for weather updates in Fiji. Regular visits to their website or social media pages are recommended for the latest advisories.
The NDRMO and FMS are committed to continuing their monitoring of the weather situation and will provide further updates as necessary.
In times of such weather challenges, it is important for communities to come together and stay informed. By taking precautions and heeding safety advisories, residents can navigate this weather situation safely.
