If you are living in the Northern Division, please be prepared as a heavy rain alert is in force for Vanua Levu, Taveuni and nearby smaller islands.

A trough of low pressure remains slow moving to the North of Fiji and is gradually drifting towards the Northern parts of the group.

Expect heavy rain and there is a risk of flash flooding of low lying and flood prone areas during persistent localised heavy rain.

There is also a risk of flooding of small rivers, creeks and roads.
