Tropical Cyclone Tomas moves steadily towards Fiji

The Northern Division has been put on warning as Tropical Cyclone Tomas moves steadily towards land with the rest of the country expected to be put on a warning later in the afternoon.

Before mid day today, the Nadi Weather office issued a tropical cyclone warning for the Northern Division, Taveuni, outer islands and Northern Lau group with the rest of the country still on a Tropical Alert.

However, Nadi Weather Office Director, Rajen Prasad said that Tropical Cyclone Tomas is now located 340 North-North West of Udu Point and is traveling at a South west direction and is expected to turn either South or may change direction at any time, which may see the whole country put on warning.
