Tropical Cyclone Evan is intensifying and is likely to become a category 3 cyclone or Hurricane by the time it enters the Fiji waters.
The Nadi Weather Office confirms that Cyclone Evan’s centre is along the coast of Upolu in Samoa.
Director Alipate Waqaicelua said it is still expected to make a turnaround in the next 24 hours and upgrade to a hurricane.
The Weather Office said ahead of this cyclone, as it heads to Fiji, damaging easterly swells is expected.
This can cause sea flooding of low-lying areas.
People are urged to be prepared, heed the warnings and act responsibly as the cyclone is expected to start affecting us from Saturday.
Cyclone Evan has winds of 88 kilometres an hour near its centre, is likely to produce a storm surge of more than three metres and is producing heavy rain.
