People living in Viti Levu, and maritime areas like Yasawa, Mamanuca groups, Kadavu, and nearby smaller islands like Moala and Southern Lau Group should be vigilant as a heavy rain alert has been issued for these areas.

The Nadi Weather Office says localized heavy rain may lead to flash flooding of low lying areas.

A trough of low pressure lies over Fiji.

Associated clouds and showers are affecting the Eastern parts of the country.

Another trough of low pressure with associated cloud and rain is expected to approach the country from the West and affect parts of the group from tomorrow.

Expect localised flooding of susceptible communities, business and low lying areas, localised flooding of minor roads, Irish crossings and bridges with some disruption to traffic flow.

There will be poor visibility at land and sea with increased risk of motor vehicle accidents due to slippery roads.
