A heavy rain warning has been issued for southern and eastern regions of Viti Levu, as well as Kadavu and its surrounding smaller islands, including the Lau and Lomaiviti groups. This alert comes as a trough of low pressure approaches from the south, bringing clouds and showers that are expected to affect these regions.
Weather forecasts indicate that residents should anticipate cloudy periods with brief showers in Southern and Eastern Viti Levu, Kadavu, and nearby islands. The frequency of these showers is likely to increase later tonight as the weather system moves closer to Fiji. Communities in the affected areas are urged to stay updated and take necessary precautions against potential heavy rainfall.
As the rain advances, it is essential for residents to prepare for possible disruptions and to ensure that drainage systems are cleared to mitigate flooding risks. While heavy rain can pose challenges, it is also important to recognize its role in replenishing water resources and supporting local ecosystems, offering an opportunity for regeneration in the environment.
