Isolated thunderstorms and heavy rainfall may lead to flash flooding of low-lying areas.

The Fiji Meteorological Office says this is due to a weak trough of low pressure that lies slow moving over the group and continues to move eastwards, affecting parts of the group.

Another trough of low pressure is expected to approach from the West later today and affect parts of the country until later tomorrow.
