Rain water flooded the streets of Lautoka City and most parts of the Western Division, forcing authorities to issue an advisory for the traveling public.
Reports of flash flooding were recorded in Rakiraki, Tavua, Ba, Nadi and Lautoka during yesterday's heavy downpour.
The Sugar City had drains clogged up, causing water to spill on to main streets.
Yesterday, motorists had to manoeuvre their vehicles through floodwaters during the pouring rain.
Lautoka City Council CEO Jone Nakauvadra said drainage was an issue for the city.
"The problem with us is we are located downstream so all of the water flows through our drainage systems in town towards the sea," he said.
