Acting Director of Fiji Meteorological Service, Terry Atalifo also highlighted that a strong wind warning remains in force for the land areas of Yasawa and Mamanuca, Northern and western Viti Levu, Kadavu and nearby smaller islands, Lau and the Lomaiviti group.

Atalifo says the river flood alert remains in force for low-lying areas, small streams and flood-prone areas.
