Strong wind warnings remain in force for surrounding waters, including Yasawa and Mamanuca waters, southwest Viti Levu waters, northern Vanua Levu waters, Kadavu waters and the Vatu-i-Ra Passage.
The NDRMO has advised members of the public to secure their homes, boats, and any loose items to reduce the risk of damage.
People are also urged to exercise extreme caution when travelling, especially near rivers, streams, and coastal areas where conditions may rapidly deteriorate.
Mariners are strongly advised to avoid rough seas and to strictly comply with all marine warnings currently in force.
The NDRMO continues to encourage the public to closely monitor official weather updates and to follow all advisories and instructions issued by relevant authorities as the adverse weather conditions persist.
