A flood warning remains in place for regions susceptible to flooding, particularly along the Ba, Nasivi (Tavua), Nakauvadra (Rakiraki), and Nadi rivers. As of 7:00 AM today, water levels at the Ba FSC station recorded 2.89 meters, which is below the warning threshold and decreasing. Similarly, the Nakauvadra town center station was reported at 2.0 meters, and Nadi at the town bridge station also measured 2.0 meters, both below warning levels and on a downward trend.
Despite these hopeful indicators regarding water levels, a heavy rain warning persists across the entire Fijian archipelago. The weather officials have indicated that an active trough of low pressure, accompanied by significant cloud cover and rain, continues to impact the area. Furthermore, another active trough of low pressure is making its way towards Fiji from the West, with forecasts predicting cloud and rain associated with this system to affect the region through Sunday.
Residents can expect periods of rain, some heavy, along with occasional thunderstorms throughout the country.
In summary, while the water levels are currently manageable, caution is advised due to the ongoing heavy rainfall warnings. It’s a reminder of the importance of preparedness in the face of adverse weather conditions. By staying informed and taking necessary precautions, communities can navigate these weather challenges effectively.
