Cyclone Yasa - a category 4 storm - is currently due to pass over Fiji on 18 December and is expected to potentially cause flooding, storm surges, and damage.

Yasa is expected to pass over the two main islands in the archipelago - Viti Levu and Vanua Levu - but is also expected to impact the nearby smaller islands. The Nadi Weather Office, Fiji has also forecast potential severe storm surges in coastal areas of Northern Viti Levu, Nadi, Ba, Rakiraki, and possibly Tailevu.

Forecasts suggest the storm may reach category 5 - the highest category on the Saffir-Simpson scale - before it reaches Fiji.

The Fiji Meteorological Service and authorities have warned residents to expect the storm to cause a great deal of damage, and urged those affected to take shelter and be careful.
