Category 1 tropical cyclone warning for Samoa

The Samoa Meteorology Division in its latest weather update says a wind advisory remains effective for all of Samoa.

There is also a warning for heavy rain, flooding and possible landslide in vulnerable areas.

A flood advisory has been issued for low-lying coastal areas due to high surf from Saturday morning.

Samoa is already drenched after days of heavy rain, with some parts experiencing flooding.

An advisory for small craft and alia fishing boats remains in effect for all Samoa open waters due to strong and gusty winds with high combined waves and swells.
