A tropical depression, designated as TD03F, is under close observation as it gradually advances toward Fiji. Located approximately 700 kilometers northwest of Nadi as of 6 am today, the depression is moving slowly in a southeast direction. Fortunately, the impact on the overall weather has so far been minimal, with much of Fiji enjoying fine and sunny weather this morning due to other weather systems drifting away.
Meteorologists anticipate that the upcoming rainfall will stem directly from TD03F. The exact locations that may be affected will depend on the system’s trajectory, with current forecasts suggesting it may track either to the north of Vanua Levu or to the west of Fiji. Today’s weather is expected to include sunny intervals interspersed with clouds and occasional showers. However, TD03F is projected to make its presence felt closer to the islands starting tonight.
Authorities have issued warnings, stressing that even if conditions appear stable at the moment, the situation is precarious due to previously saturated grounds. Heavy rainfall could potentially lead to localized flooding, prompting the continuation of Heavy Rain and Flood Warnings as a precautionary measure.
Moreover, moderate north to northwest winds are forecasted, which may occasionally pick up freshness. Weather officials remain vigilant and are committed to providing updates as the situation evolves. The continued monitoring of TD03F highlights the preparedness of authorities to safeguard local communities against possible adverse weather impacts.
