An active trough of low pressure lies slow moving over the Northern Division and Eastern parts of the Fiji group with associated cloud and rain affecting the Northern and Eastern parts of the country.

They say there will be occasional rain heavy at times and few thunderstorms for the Northern Division, Taveuni and nearby smaller islands, Lau and Lomaiviti Group, Eastern parts of Viti Levu, Serua, Namosi, Suva, Nausori, Naitasiri and Tailevu.
