A previous heavy rain alert for Viti Levu, Yasawa, Mamanuca, Kadavu, Lau, Lomaiviti Group, and nearby smaller islands has been lifted, according to the Fiji Meteorological Service. While the alert has been canceled, a trough of low pressure continues to bring clouds and showers across the region. This weather system is expected to linger over the islands for the next few days, raising concerns about localized heavy rainfall that could potentially result in flash flooding in low-lying areas.
It is important for residents to stay vigilant and prepared, as weather conditions may still pose risks to safety and infrastructure. Authorities are encouraged to issue timely updates and warnings to ensure the public remains informed during this period of unstable weather.
Overall, while the cancellation of the heavy rain alert is positive news, the community should be aware of the ongoing threat of inclement weather. Following safety guidelines will help mitigate potential hazards in the days ahead.
