The Fiji Meteorological Service has issued a severe thunderstorm warning for heavy rainfall affecting the eastern regions of Viti Levu. This alert encompasses areas from Nuku to Deuba, including Suva, Buretu, Korovou, Dawasamu, Nakarotubu, Nalawa, Navatusila, Naikoro, and other inland locations.
Residents are warned that heavy rainfall, along with thunder and lightning, is anticipated in these regions. Authorities advise individuals to steer clear of flooded streams and drainage systems, and to avoid traversing floodwaters by foot, bicycle, or vehicle. It is also recommended that people unplug electronic devices, stay indoors away from windows, and keep children and pets inside for their safety.
The Weather Office emphasizes the importance of remaining vigilant and keeping an eye on weather conditions. A trough of low pressure is currently moving over the eastern areas, and this situation is expected to impact parts of the country until tomorrow, gradually shifting eastward.
As the community braces for this weather disturbance, it’s crucial for residents to heed safety warnings and prepare accordingly. This is an opportunity to come together and support one another during challenging weather conditions. In the face of potential adversity, the resilience of the community will shine through.
