Weather authorities have cancelled the series of warnings for heavy rain and strong winds for Solomon Islands.
Solomon Islands has seen three periods of bad weather across the nation, with the latest reaching as far as Orange Alert – a more serious state of warning.
The strong wind was cancelled at 1pm yesterday, followed by heavy rain warning cancellation at 8pm.
The National Emergency Operations Centre (NEOC) however says intermittent rain can occur in the coming days since an active trough still lies south of the country.
NEOC also cautions the public that general westerly winds flow over the country.
However, for now, the strength of the rain and winds have ceased below the threshold which warrants warnings.
“Associated clouds and heavy rain with thunderstorms are expected to gradually ease and below warning threshold.
“The expected westerly winds of 15 to 25 knots for waters of Central, Guadalcanal, Malaita, Makira, Temotu and Rennell/Bellona provinces is now easing and below the warning threshold.
“However, still expect poor visibility in showers and thunderstorm areas.
“This is the final update for this event,” NEOC said.
