The Nadi Weather Office says the centre of TC Ana is expected to be over the Ra Province as early as from 6am to 9am today and TC Ana will then be covering Viti Levu and continue over landfall. Stay safe.

The Nadi Weather Office says the system had moved to the west from its projected path, however it is now maintaining its South East track.

The Nadi Weather Office says the front part of Cyclone Ana is affecting Viti Levu to Kadavu and category 2 damaging winds being experienced will continue for most part of this morning into today.

They say the wind is expected to intensify as the system continues to move over Viti Levu today.

The Weather Office says the centre is expected to exit Viti Levu from the Central Division this afternoon.
