A heavy rain warning remains in force for the whole of the Fiji Group as a trough of low pressure with associated clouds and rain continues to affect the country until later today.

The Nadi Weather Office says people can expect occasional rain, heavy at times and a few thunderstorms over most places.

They say isolated heavy rain may lead to flash flooding of low-lying and flood-prone areas.

Significant rainfall recorded in the 24 hours includes 61mm in Monasavu, 67.5mm in Nayarabale, 60mm in Nasinu Forestry and 79.5mm in Waimanu.

People are urged to take necessary precautions as flash flooding of some low-lying settlements, communities and roads could occur, potentially disrupting traffic flow. Surface flooding is also expected in streets, particularly in urban areas with poor drainage.
