A Heavy Rain Alert remains in effect across Fiji as a trough of low pressure moves in from the west, bringing unsettled weather conditions over the country.

Cloudy skies and periods of rain are expected to persist until later Tuesday, with isolated thunderstorms likely to produce heavy downpours in some areas.

Authorities warn that intense rainfall may trigger flash flooding, particularly in low-lying and flood-prone locations.

Potential impacts include flooded roads, Irish crossings, settlements, and businesses, along with traffic disruptions and surface flooding in urban areas with poor drainage systems.

Motorists are also being advised to exercise caution due to slippery roads and reduced visibility during heavy rain, which could increase the risk of accidents.

Members of the public are urged to avoid crossing flooded roads and waterways and to remain alert as weather conditions continue.
