A heavy rain warning remains in effect for some parts of the country.

The Solomon Meteorological Service (SIMS) issued this on its official Facebook page on Wednesday, 10th December 2025.

“A heavy rain warning is current for Western, Isabel, Choiseul, Malaita, Central, Guadalcanal and Makira provinces.

“The situation: a tropical low is located over the northern parts of Solomon Islands,” SIMs said.

SIMS said that associated clouds and heavy rain with thunderstorms are expected to affect Western, Choiseul, Isabel, Malaita, Central, Guadalcanal and Makira provinces.

According to SIMS, such localised heavy rain may lead to possible landslides and flash flooding over communities living near hill slopes, close to large rivers, streams and low-lying areas.

“Sea travellers are urged to consider safety actions, as such heavy rain can reduce visibility. People are therefore strongly advised to take safety measures to avoid danger and loss of lives,” SIMS said.
