A flash flood alert remains in force for flood prone areas, small streams and low lying crossings of the Central Eastern Division from Navua to Qauia, Rewa and Korovou River, Labasa and Qawa River.

The Nadi Weather Office says the areas likely to be or already affected are low lying roads and crossings within the Labasa and Qawa river especially Dreketilailai, Urata and Boubale crossings.

A heavy rain alert is also in force for the Northern Division, Taveuni and nearby smaller islands, Lau and Lomaiviti Group, the Eastern parts of Viti Levu, Serua, Namosi, Suva, Nausori, Naitasiri and Tailevu.

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.

Cloudy periods with some showers and isolated thunderstorms with isolated heavy falls expected for the rest of the Fiji group.

Localised heavy falls may lead to flash flooding of low lying areas and flood prone areas.
