The Disaster Management Office has urged people all over Samoa to exercise extreme caution as heavy rain continues, and to stay home unless it s absolutely necessary to go somewhere.
Those living in low lying areas prone to flooding have also been urged to evacuate.
The bad weather is the result of another active convergence zone, according to the latest weather report from the Samoa Meteorology Office.
