Avertissement de fortes pluies pour Maurice de 12 h à 22 h

Version anglaise / English Version

The airmass over our region is moist and unstable which is very conducive for the formation of active clouds over the island.

These clouds will cause moderate to heavy showers accompanied by thunderstorms to the North, the West and over the Central Plateau as from this afternoon. These thundery showers are expected to spread gradually over other regions of the island.

A heavy rain warning is in force in Mauritius and is valid until 2200 hours.

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.

Heavy Rain warning Bulletin for Mauritius issued at 11h30 on Tuesday 31 January 2023, valid from 1200 hours until 2200 hours tonight.
