A flash flood warning is currently in effect for all low-lying, flood-prone areas and small streams across the Western and Northern divisions of Fiji. Additionally, a flash flood alert has been issued for the central eastern division due to ongoing weather conditions.
The Nadi weather office reports that an active trough of low pressure, which is bringing a significant amount of cloud cover and rain, is moving slowly over the northeastern regions of Fiji. This weather pattern is expected to impact the islands until Monday. Moreover, a second trough of low pressure is predicted to approach and affect the group starting tomorrow.
Fiji Met has cautioned that flooding is likely to occur in various locations, including drainages, small streams, roads, properties, and low-lying areas. Currently, many low-lying regions such as Sigatoka, Nadi, Lautoka, Ba, Tavua, and Rakiraki remain submerged under water.
Communities in affected areas are advised to stay alert and take necessary precautions to ensure safety during this challenging weather period. With the anticipated incoming weather system, residents are encouraged to prepare for possible further disturbances.
This situation serves as a reminder of the resilience and strength of the Fijian people, as they face the challenges posed by natural events together. It is crucial for everyone to remain informed and follow safety recommendations to navigate through this period of adverse weather with vigilance and care.
