The Nadi weather office says a Flash Flood Alert remains in force for all flash flood-prone areas, small streams and low-lying areas of the rest of Viti Levu and for low-lying and flood-prone areas of Vanua Levu.

They say a trough of low pressure remains slow-moving over Fiji and the associated cloud and rain continue to affect most parts of the country.

Meanwhile, a northwest-to-southeast wind flow prevails over the group.

They say there will be periods of rain, heavy at times and few thunderstorms and heavy falls may lead to flash flooding of low-lying and flood-prone areas, moderate to fresh northwest to southeast winds, gusty at times and moderate to rough seas.
