A heavy rain warning has been issued for the entire Fiji group, according to the Fiji Meteorological Service. In a special weather bulletin released at 4:30 PM, officials indicated that an active trough of low pressure is bringing widespread cloudiness and rain across the region.
The forecast predicts that residents can expect periods of rain, which may be heavy at times, along with the possibility of thunderstorms. The heavy rainfall raises concerns about potential flash flooding in low-lying areas, informal settlements, small streams, and on roads that may be affected by rising water levels.
Drivers are advised to exercise caution due to reduced visibility caused by the rain, which could lead to hazardous road conditions.
As Fiji navigates these weather challenges, it’s a reminder of the importance of community preparedness and resilience in the face of natural events. Staying informed and taking precautions can help mitigate the impacts of such severe weather.
Overall, while heavy rains pose risks, communities can come together, support each other, and safely navigate this weather system.
