Several crossings and roads in parts of Labasa are currently inaccessible due to flash flooding.
Members of the public and motorists are strongly advised to exercise caution and refrain from attempting to cross these flooded areas.
Meanwhile the heavy rain alert that was issued for Vanua Levu, Taveuni and nearby smaller islands, Yasawa and Northern Lau Group, has now been extended to the Northwestern and interior parts of Viti Levu.
This is due to a trough of low pressure that lies slow moving just to the West of Fiji while another trough lies slow moving just to the east of Fiji.
