Flooding occurred in various regions of the Central Division last night due to heavy rainfall. Lami and Nabua were among the worst-hit areas, with water inundating homes in the Nabua Muslim League settlement. The National Weather Forecasting Centre in Nadi has issued a heavy rain alert that is currently in effect for the entire Fiji Group. This situation is being exacerbated by a trough of low pressure that continues to bring cloud cover and rainfall across the region.
Authorities are urging residents to remain vigilant and prepare for potential further rainfall as the weather system persists. The community’s resilience will be crucial in facing these challenging conditions, and emergency services are on standby to assist those affected by the flooding.
