The Nadi Weather office has warned of more severe flooding mostly in the Western parts of the country later today.

Director Rajendra Prasad said as a result of the indirect effect of the Tropical Depression moving away from the country and heavier rainfall is expected mostly in Western parts of Vitilevu.

He said there was over 400mm of rainfall in the last 36 hours and the flooding in Nadi town is the worst since 1999.

Prasad adds people should not think that the threat is over and they should take the warnings seriously.
