A heavy rain warning has been issued for the southern and eastern regions of Viti Levu, as well as Kadavu and surrounding smaller islands, along with the Lau and Lomaiviti groups. The alert comes as a trough of low pressure approaches from the south, bringing with it clouds and showers that are expected to impact these areas.
Weather forecasts predict that residents of Southern and Eastern Viti Levu, Kadavu, and the nearby islands should brace for cloudy periods accompanied by brief showers. The frequency of these showers is expected to increase later tonight as the weather system draws nearer to Fiji. It is important for communities in these areas to stay informed and take necessary precautions against potential heavy rainfall.
As the rain approaches, it is crucial for people to prepare for possible disruptions and to ensure that drainage systems are cleared to prevent flooding. While these weather events can cause challenges, they also play a vital role in replenishing water resources and supporting local ecosystems.
