The Fiji Meteorological Service has issued a severe thunderstorm warning for heavy rainfall affecting the eastern regions of Viti Levu. This warning covers areas from Nuku to Deuba, including Suva, Buretu, Korovou, Dawasamu, Nakarotubu, Nalawa, Navatusila, Naikoro, and various interior locations of Viti Levu.
Residents in these regions should be prepared for heavy rainfall, accompanied by thunder and lightning. The Weather Office strongly advises individuals to avoid flooded creeks and drains and refrain from walking, cycling, or driving through any floodwaters. Additionally, it is recommended that residents unplug electrical devices, remain indoors away from windows, and keep children and pets safely inside.
The Weather Office emphasizes the importance of staying vigilant and monitoring local conditions as a trough of low pressure currently moves slowly over the eastern parts of the country. This weather pattern is expected to impact various regions until tomorrow before gradually shifting eastward away from the islands.
This serves as a reminder of the power of nature and the need for preparedness and caution during severe weather events. By following safety guidelines, individuals can better protect themselves and their loved ones during this time.
