Several roads in the Western Division are closed and inaccessible due to the recent heavy rain. 

Sigatoka Mission Road and the Tilivalevu Road and Bypass are closed while in Tavua Nadelei Road and Crossing Number 4 and 5 are also closed.

Naseyani Road Crossing Number 1 (Vitivanua Crossing) in Tavua and Vunisamaloa Road, Nadhari Road and Tomuka Road in Ba are closed. 

The Fiji Roads Authority says localised heavy rain may lead to flash flooding in low-lying and flood-prone areas and all drivers and road users are urged to exercise caution while travelling.

A trough of low pressure with cloud and rain remains over Fiji and is gradually moving westwards.
