A Heavy Rain Warning is in force in Mauritius.
The airmass remains moist and unstable over our region, conducive for the formation of active clouds.
Moderate to locally heavy showers with thunderstorm are expected in the afternoon over the central plateau and over the Western half of the island.
There will be water accumulations in certain risky regions.
The visibility will be reduced due to fog and during heavy showers in certain regions.
The public is advised to:
- remain in safe places and avoid open areas, hikings, sea ventures and sheltering under trees during thunderstorms.
- avoid places prone to water accumulation, river banks and other water courses which may be flooded and certain mountain slopes prone to landslide.
- be very cautious on the roads due to reduced visibility resulting from heavy rains and fog patches.
