The Nadi weather office has issued a forecast indicating that a trough of low pressure remains stationary just to the north of Fiji. This weather system is expected to enhance the northeasterly winds across the Fiji group, leading to occasional showers and thunderstorms, especially over eastern and interior regions of Viti Levu.
Affected areas include coastal regions such as Serua-Namosi, Navua-Suva-Nausori, Tailevu, and Naitasiri, as well as the interior parts of Ra, Ba, and Nadroga/Navosa. Additionally, eastern sections of Vanua Levu and Taveuni are also predicted to experience similar weather conditions.
Localised heavy rainfall may pose a risk of flash flooding in low-lying and flood-prone areas, highlighting the need for vigilance among residents. This situation serves as a reminder of the essential role of weather preparedness, as heavy rainfall can significantly impact life and daily activities in affected communities.
Similar forecasts from previous weeks have warned about the potential for heavy rainfall leading to flash flooding, particularly in low-lying areas like Navua, Suva, and Nausori. As reminders of the importance of community preparedness circulate, it’s a hopeful reminder that such rainfall can also benefit agriculture, replenishing water supplies essential for crop growth.
Residents are encouraged to stay updated on weather conditions and take appropriate measures to ensure safety during these stormy periods.
