Up to four cyclones could form in the Pacific this week, led by Rae, lashing Fiji as a category-two storm.
A series of low-pressure systems - from the Coral Sea in the west through to the waters south of the Cook Islands in the east - will bring disruptive weather to a long stretch of the blue continent.
As of Monday afternoon, Tropical Cyclone Rae is impacting Fiji's east, including the Cakaudrove, Lomaiviti and Lau provicinces.
