It says the heavy rain alert also remains in force for the Macuata and Bua Province and the Southern Lau group.

It adds that another trough of low pressure is moving towards the group from the West it’s associated cloud and rain is anticipated to affects most parts of the country tonight.

Localised heavy falls may lead to flash flooding of low lying areas.
