A Flood Warning is in force for low lying and flood prone areas adjacent to and downstream of Nakauvadra and Narara Rivers in Rakiraki, Nasivi River in Tavua and low lying flash flood prone areas of Northern and Eastern Viti Levu and Vanua Levu.

A Heavy Rain Warning remains in force for interior, Northern and Eastern parts of Viti Levu, Vanua Levu, Taveuni and nearby smaller islands, Lau and Lomaiviti Groups.

The Nadi Weather Office says this is due to a trough of low pressure which lies slow moving over the Fiji Group.

Associated cloud and rain is expected to affect the Northern and Eastern parts of the country till later today.

Occasional rain, heavy at times and a few thunderstorms with rain gradually easing and clearing later today.

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