A trough of low pressure is set to bring significant rainfall to the eastern half of Viti Levu until tomorrow. Heavy rain is anticipated in regions extending from Serua/Namosi through Navua to Nausori, as well as in Tailevu, Naitasiri, and Ra.
According to the Nadi Weather Office, a warning is in effect for Southern Bua, Cakaudrove, Lau, and Lomaiviti Groups, including Kadavu and surrounding smaller islands. Residents in these areas should prepare for potential thunderstorms and localized heavy rainfall, which pose risks of flash flooding, especially in low-lying and vulnerable regions.
This weather pattern is consistent with previous alerts where the Nadi Weather Office has warned of similar conditions. Recent forecasts have indicated a persistent trough of low pressure, continually bringing clouds and rain to various regions across Fiji. For example, past updates have highlighted concerns about localized heavy rainfall which could lead to flash flooding in flood-prone areas.
As community members prepare for this weather event, it’s crucial to stay informed and monitor local updates. Being proactive about weather safety can help mitigate the risk of flooding and ensure that individuals and families are protected.
In challenging weather conditions, there is always hope as communities come together to support one another, demonstrating resilience and preparedness.
