A heavy rain warning remains in force for Vanua Levu, Taveuni and nearby smaller islands.

The same is now in force for Yasawa, eastern half of Viti Levu, Lau and Lomaiviti group.

The national weather forecasting centre says there is an active trough of low pressure that remains slow moving over the country.

Associated cloud and rain will affect parts of the group.

The weatherman has also forecast occasional rain that will be heavy at times and few thunderstorms for the same areas that have been subjected to the heavy rain warning.
