The eye of Tropical Cyclone Mick is located just off shore from Navua as the system continues to move rapidly away from Viti Levu.

Nadi Weather Office Director Rajendra Prasad said strong winds are expected to continue to affect Navua, Suva and Nausori in the next few hours.

Prasad said as Tropical Cyclone Mick slowly moves away from Viti Levu rain is expected to ease but the prospects of flooding will remain for the next two to three hours.
