Expect Some Showers Until Monday

The Fiji Meteorological Service advises the public that most parts of the country should expect some showers from today until Monday.

The weather office said there was currently a weak trough over several parts of the country including the Lau and Lomaiviti group which was the cause of some showers over parts of the Central Division including other areas.

The weather office’s main concern however was another weak trough going over the North-West of the country which is expected to prolong clearing off completely until Tuesday.

“This is not a continuous heavy rain event, just isolated heavy falls that usually don’t last more than one hour,” said the weather office.

Travelers must take heed of heavy showers where there might be low possibility of driving conditions for drivers.

Those looking to travel out to sea can expect moderate to rough seas.

Drought Watch

The drought watch is currently in place for areas in the North including Udu Point, Nabouwalu and Taveuni while the same goes for Nadi, Lautoka, Viwa, Yasawa-I-Ra in the Western Division.

Other parts of the country that are under drought watch include Lodoni, Navutulevu and Ono-I-Lau.

Meanwhile, the weather office has issued a drought warning for areas like Savusavu, Rarawai, Penang and Yaqara.

Rain is expected to be more than usual.
