Heavy rain warning and alert in force

Many areas in Labasa area flooded

A heavy rain warning remains in force for the Northern Division, Lau and Lomaiviti group and nearby smaller islands, Yasawa and Mamanuca groups.

We are getting flooding reports from Labasa Town, Namara, Nawadamu, Nasekula, Soasoa, Vunivau, Cawaira, Vulovi, Bulileka, Batinikama and Siberia.

The Weather Office also says a heavy rain alert remains in force for the Northern half of Viti Levu which is the greater Nadi-Lautoka-Ba area, the interior of Ba, Ra and Naitasiri provinces.

A trough of low pressure lies slow moving over the Northern and Eastern parts of Fiji.

Meanwhile, an active trough of low pressure is expected to approach the group from the East.

Associated cloud, rain and showers are expected to affect the group for the next few days.

Some localised communities and businesses are likely to be affected by flash flooding of low lying areas.
