The Nadi Weather Office warns that a tropical depression which is slowly headed towards Fiji is expected to develop and transform into a Tropical Cyclone within 6 to 12 hours.

Center Director Rajendra Prasad said the system lies west of Vanuatu and will bring strong winds and heavy rainfall to the western and south-western parts of Fiji from tomorrow as the system will move eastwards initially but curve southeast as it nears Fiji.
