A heavy rain warning remains in force for Sigatoka, Nadi, Lautoka, Ba, Tavua and Rakiraki and Northern Bua, Macuata, Cikobia and Qelelevu in the Northern Vanua Levu, the Yasawa and Mamanuca Groups, Kadavu and Lau and Lomaiviti Group.

A heavy rain alert remains in force for the rest of the Fiji group.

The Weather Office says an active trough of low pressure lies slow moving to the west of Fiji and the associated rain bands continues to affect the Fiji group.

A flash flood alert remains in force for low lying and flood prone areas and areas close to small streams from Sigatoka to Rakiraki and Northern parts of Vanua Levu.

Some localised businesses likely to be affected while other impacts include flash flooding of low lying areas, localised flooding of Iris crossing and informal settlements and some disruption to traffic flow and poor visibility on land and sea.

The Weather Office says the weather is expected to clear out by Wednesday.
