Tropical Cyclone Ana has intensified into a Category 2 Cyclone and the centre is expected to be over the Ba coast shortly and TC Ana will then be covering Viti Levu and continue over landfall. Stay safe.

The Nadi Weather Office says the system has moved to the west from its projected path.

The Nadi Weather Office says the front part of Cyclone Ana is affecting Viti Levu to Kadavu and category 2 damaging winds being experienced will continue for most part of this morning into today.

They say the wind is expected to intensify as the system continues to move over Viti Levu today.

The Weather Office adds the whole of Fiji will experience damaging winds today.

Please note that you will experience damaging winds a few hours before and after the centre of Cyclone Ana passes overhead or nearby.

TC Ana was located about 95 kilometres North East of Nadi at 1.30 this morning.

The Nadi Weather Office says people can expect winds of up to 95 kilometres per hour with momentary gusts of up to 130 kilometres per hour.
