A heavy rain alert that had been issued for Viti Levu, Yasawa, Mamanuca, Kadavu, Lau, Lomaiviti Group, and surrounding smaller islands has now been lifted. According to the Fiji Meteorological Service, a trough of low pressure is slowly moving over the region, bringing with it clouds and showers that are expected to influence weather patterns for the next several days. The service also warned that localized heavy rainfall could result in flash flooding in low-lying areas.
It’s essential for residents to remain vigilant, especially in regions susceptible to flooding. While the cancellation of the heavy rain alert is a relief, the expectation of ongoing showers underscores the need for preparedness in case of sudden weather changes.
In summary, while the current heavy rain alert is no longer active, residents should stay aware of potential flash flooding as conditions may still lead to localized heavy rainfall.
