Heavy rain warning remains in force for Rakiraki, Ba, Tavua, Vanua Levu and other parts of Fiji

A heavy rain warning remains in force for Rakiraki, Ba, Tavua, Wainibuka, Dawasamu, Vanua Levu, Taveuni and nearby smaller islands, Northern Lau group, Yasawa and Mamanuca group.

A heavy rain warning is still in force for the rest of Fiji.

The Nadi Weather Office confirms that a trough of low pressure with associated cloud and rain remains slow moving over the group.

This will bring continuous heavy rain and thunderstorms.

Localised heavy rain may lead to flash flooding of low lying areas.

There is also a low to moderate probability of a tropical depression or even a tropical cyclone forming to the west of Fiji over this Easter weekend.

Nadi Weather Office Director Ravin Kumar says there is a chance of a tropical low to form by tomorrow, however, the chances are very low at this stage for the system to form into a cyclone.

This will depend on the conditions and the strength of the system later this week. The strength of the system remains unclear however people should continue to listen to updates as there is a probability of strong winds, heavy rain and river flooding this Easter weekend.

Kumar says they will continue to monitor the situation and an update will be provided in due course.
