The Fiji Times online portal this morning is running a story stating that TD04F was turning back to Fiji. This headline is at best misleading and at worst a complete and total nonsense as no agency is suggesting this at all.

Tropical Depression TD04F remains very slow moving to the northwest of the Yasawa Islands and slowly intensifies. At 3pm the centre was about 350km northwest of Nadi and while there has been some strengthening of the winds near the centre as pressure falls, it is still not yet a tropical cyclone.

Please be advised that over the Holiday Season the Secretariat will be closed from Monday, 19th December 2016 and reopen on Tuesday, 3rd January 2017.

The latest satellite imagery continues to show that TD04F is some ways off becoming a tropical cyclone as the central cloud cover is showing signs of high level wind shear indicating that the intensification is not really happening yet, or at least its only happening very slowly. But rainfall has been significant, at least in parts, with over 200 millimetres reported in the 24 hours to 9am this morning at Navua.

It has been highlighted by a number of members that commercial long line vessels have been seen operating very close to the outer reef. This obviously has a huge impact to the fish stocks in the area and the potential damage to the reef’s eco system is huge.

This is to confirm that Monday, 12 December 2016 is a Public Holiday by Government Gazette [Legal Notice No. 17] “Special Public Holiday -” Prophet Mohammed’s Birthday”
