Parents and guardians in flood affected areas are being advised to use their discretion in sending their children to school as there is a heavy rain warning in force for the Fiji Group.

Teachers who are unable to report to work due to flooding are requested to make arrangements with their Heads of Schools.

The Education Ministry says the safety and well-being of students and teachers is paramount.

The Nadi Weather Office says a flood warning remains in force for low lying areas and areas adjacent to major rivers of Ba, Tavua and Rakiraki while a flash flood warning is in place for low lying areas, areas adjacent to small streams and rivers for areas from Nadi through Ba to Korovou. A flash flood alert is in force for low lying areas and areas close to small streams and rivers of Viti Levu, Vanua Levu and Taveuni.

A low pressure system lies to the South West of Fiji.

The associated active trough of low pressure with cloud and rain continues to affect the country and expected to further drift Southeastwards away from us by Thursday.
