The centre of Category 2 Tropical Cyclone Urmil is not expected to move directly over Fiji, however, heavy rain and strong winds linked to the system are already affecting parts of the country.

The Nadi Weather Office says that at 6 this morning, the centre of TC Urmil was located about 520km southwest of Nadi.

They say it is tracking southeastward and is moving at a faster pace, currently at about 30km/hr.

The Weather Office strongly urges the public to continue following official weather warnings and advisories.

Meanwhile, a Flash Flood Warning is now in force for the whole of Viti Levu, while a Flash Flood Alert remains in force for the whole of Vanua Levu.

The Weather Office says a Heavy Rain Warning also remains in force for Fiji.

Surface flooding may occur on streets in urban areas with poor drainage, along with wet roads and reduced visibility during heavy downpours, increasing the risk of road accidents.

Remain vigilant and stay with us for updates.
