The Fiji Meteorological Service has issued a severe thunderstorm warning for heavy rainfall affecting the eastern regions of Viti Levu. This warning encompasses areas from Nuku to Deuba, including Suva, Buretu, Korovou, Dawasamu, Nakarotubu, Nalawa, Navatusila, Naikoro, and other interior locations.
Residents in these areas are advised to prepare for significant rain, along with potential thunder and lightning. Authorities recommend avoiding flooded creeks and drains and advise against walking, biking, or driving through any floodwaters. Additionally, people are urged to unplug computers and appliances, stay indoors away from windows, and ensure that children and pets remain inside.
The Weather Office has highlighted the importance of vigilance and encourages everyone to stay updated on conditions as a trough of low pressure moves slowly through the eastern parts of the region. This weather pattern is expected to impact various parts of Fiji until tomorrow before gradually shifting eastward away from the islands.
As communities brace for the impending weather, it serves as a reminder of the importance of preparedness and heedfulness in the face of nature’s challenges. By following safety guidelines, residents can protect themselves and their loved ones during severe weather events.
For those affected, staying informed and prepared can help mitigate risks associated with the storm’s impact. Let’s remain hopeful that the weather will clear soon, allowing for a return to normalcy.
