SUVA, Dec. 15 (Xinhua) -- The Fiji Meteorological Service said on Monday that Tropical Depression TD03F remains slow moving to the northeast of Vanuatu and is expected to enter Fiji waters on Tuesday.
It also said that TD03F continues to have a low potential of developing into a tropical cyclone.
The associated active trough of low pressure continues to affect Fiji with overcast conditions and occasional rain.
Persistent heavy rainfall may lead to flash flooding, particularly as soils are already saturated from ongoing rainfall.
The Fiji Meteorological Service said this continues to increase the risk of flooding in low-lying and flood-prone areas, including downstream of major rivers and along small streams and possibly the major rivers across the country.
Weather is expected to improve from Thursday.
Fijian public is advised to remain alert, monitor official weather updates, and take necessary precautions during this period of unsettled weather. ■
