A gale force warning is in force for Lomaiviti and the Lau group while a strong wind warning remains in force for the rest of the Fiji group.
For Vatulele, Beqa, Kadavu and Moala group and nearby islands, destructive storm force winds with average speeds of 90 to 100km per hour with momentary gusts to 150km per hour are expected.
Nadi Weather Office Director Rajendra Prasad said while the cyclone is moving away, the prospects of flooding in Navua and Rewa river would remain over the next 8 hours.
On its current path, Tropical cyclone Mick is expected to be located about 175km South South East of Suva or about 130km East South East of Kadavu at around 9 o'clock this morning.
Tropical Cyclone Mick is increasing its intensity in Kadavu as heavy rain continues and strong winds have destroyed a few homes in Lagalevu village.
