Flooding has been reported in parts of Central Division and people are being urged to stay away and refrain from attempting to cross or swim in flooded rivers, streams, drains, roads and walkways where water is above knee level.

Fiji Roads Authority says due to flooding from recent heavy rain, Savu Road, Raralevu Road, Korociriciri Road and Buiduna Road in Nausori are currently closed to all traffic.

The National Disaster Risk Management Office says a Heavy Rain Alert remains in force for the Central and Eastern divisions, Southern Bua, and Cakaudrove province.

They say a trough of low pressure which lies slow-moving over the Fiji group is expected to drift over the rest of the group from tomorrow.

The Nadi Weather Office says associated cloud and rain is expected to affect the country until Thursday.

They add a shallow Tropical Disturbance 03F lies slow-moving to the East of Fiji and is expected to move Southeastwards away from the Fiji group.
