Tropical Cyclone Bina has been downgraded to a depression however we will still experience heavy rain, damaging winds and flooding.

The Nadi Weather Office says the depression is located 300 kilometres North West of Yasawa-I-Rara, and is moving South East at about 33 kilometres per hour.

As predicted, Bina is moving fast and has weakened.

A tropical cyclone warning remains in place for Fiji as the effects of Cyclone Ana remain.

Acting Director for the Nadi Weather Office, Terry Atalifo says the associated weather with Cyclone Ana is still bringing rain and strong and damaging winds to Vanua Levu, Rakiraki to Nausori, Lau and Lomaiviti Group.

TC Ana is located to the South South West of Matuku and continuing to track out of Fiji however Atalifo says we are not out of the woods yet as flooding and strong winds remains a concern.

Expect strong winds and heavy rain for the Eastern half of Viti Levu – from Rakiraki, Tailevu, Nausori and Suva, the Western half of Vanua Levu, Kadavu and nearby smaller islands, Beqa, Lomaiviti and Moala Group, Vatoa and Ono-i-Lau.

Impacts will be minor damages to weak structures, minor damages to houses of very light materials in exposed communities, damages to crops and vegetation with trees tilting due to damaging winds.

Expect periods of rain, heavy at times and a few thunderstorms.

This will continue to bring floods to our roads, villages, towns and communities near streams, rivers and low lying areas. Expect moderate to heavy swells and breaking waves reaching the coastal areas that may cause possible coastal inundation and sea flooding especially during high tide.
