The Director of Meteorological Services Ravind Kumar says this warning is in place for Northern Lau group, Viti Levu, Kadavu, Yasawa and the Mamanuca's.

He says the rain is caused by a trough of low pressure with associated rain and thunder storm.

The rain is expected to intensify from tonight.

The areas which will be prominently affected are Vanua Levu, Taveuni and nearby smaller islands, the Northern Lau group, Viti Levu, Yasawa and Mamanuca group.

Kumar says frequent heavy rain and thunder can be expected from tomorrow morning.
