A heavy rain warning that was in effect for Viti Levu, Yasawa, Mamanuca, Kadavu, Lau, Lomaiviti Group, and surrounding smaller islands has now been lifted. The Fiji Meteorological Service has indicated that a trough of low pressure is currently moving slowly over the region, bringing clouds and showers that are expected to linger for several days.
Officials have cautioned that localized heavy rainfall may cause flash flooding in low-lying areas, highlighting the need for residents to remain alert and prepared for potential weather changes.
While conditions have improved enough to cancel the rain alert, it remains important for the community to monitor weather updates and take necessary precautions against flooding. This serves as a reminder of how quickly weather conditions can change, and the importance of preparedness in mitigating risks associated with heavy rainfall.
In a hopeful note, this situation also reinforces the resilience of the region, as residents are often able to adapt and respond effectively to weather challenges.
