Avertissement de fortes pluies pour Maurice jusqu’à 20 h 00

Version anglaise / English Version

The airmass over our region is moist and unstable, conductive for the formation of active clouds over the Eastern and the Southern parts of the island and over the central plateau. These clouds will cause moderate to locally heavy showers accompanied by thunderstorms. The showers may spread in other sectors during the afternoon.

A heavy rain warning is in force in Mauritius and is valid until 2000 hours this 29th January 2023..

The public is advised to:
1. to remain in safe places and to avoid open areas, hikings, ventures at sea and not to shelter under trees during thunderstorms.
2. avoid places prone to water accumulation, river banks and other water courses which may be flooded and certain mountain slopes prone to landslide
3. be very cautious on the roads due to reduced visibility resulting from heavy rains and fog patches.
