A flash flood warning remains in force for all low lying and flood prone areas in Vanua Levu.

The Nadi Weather Office says as of 9 o’clock this morning, significant rainfall has been recorded over most parts of Vanua Levu.

They say rain is continuing and more rainfall is forecasted over the next 24 hours.

It further adds a heavy rain warning remains in force for Vanua Levu, Taveuni and nearby smaller islands and Lau and Lomaiviti group.

A heavy rain alert remains in force for the rest of Fiji.

The Nadi Weather Office says a trough of low pressure lies slow moving over the northern and eastern parts of the country.

They say the associated cloud and rain affects the northern and eastern parts of Fiji with rain gradually spreading to the rest of the group from later today.

It adds heavy rain causes flash flooding of low lying and flood prone areas during persistent localised heavy falls, lightning strikes during thunderstorms, flooding of small rivers, creeks, crossings and landslides
