A flash flood alert is in force for all low lying, flash flood prone areas and small streams of Vanua Levu, most parts of Viti Levu in an area from Nadi, Sigatoka, Coral Coast, Navua, Suva, Nausori, Tailevu, Rakiraki, Naitasiri and Serua-Namosi provinces.

This is due to a low pressure that lies to the West of Fiji and is approaching the group.
