Heavy Rain Alert remains in force for Fiji

A Heavy Rain Alert remains in force for the whole of the Fiji Group.

The Nadi Weather Office says a Northerly wind flow prevails over the country while an active trough of low pressure is expected to approach the group from the North and gradually affect it.

They say isolated thunderstorms expected over southern and interior parts of Viti Levu, Sigatoka, interior Nadroga Navosa, Serua Namosi, Navua, Suva, Nausori, Naitasiri, Southern Bua and Cakaudrove with occasional to periods of rain, heavy at times and few thunderstorms developing from the North and spreading to the rest of Fiji from later tonight.

The Nadi Weather Office adds that localised heavy falls may lead to flash flooding in low-lying areas.
