Heavy rainfall last night resulted in significant flooding across various areas in the Central Division, particularly affecting Lami and Nabua. Homes in the Nabua Muslim League settlement were notably inundated, leading to concerns about the safety and wellbeing of the residents in these hard-hit regions.
The National Weather Forecasting Centre in Nadi has responded by issuing a heavy rain alert that remains in effect for the entire Fiji Group. This ongoing situation is exacerbated by a persistent trough of low pressure that is contributing to widespread cloud cover and continued rainfall throughout the area.
In light of these challenging circumstances, authorities are advising residents to stay vigilant and prepare for the possibility of additional rainfall. The resilience of the community will be essential as they navigate these adverse conditions, and emergency services are prepared to assist those impacted by the flooding. This collective effort aims to ensure safety and support for all individuals affected, highlighting a strong community spirit in the face of adversity.
