More than 2 7\ in. of rain fell in 24 hours at Salialevu, on Fiji's Taveuni Island, several weeks ago, according to statistics issued by the Suva Meteorological Office. Salialevu is the wettest place in Fiji, but this was a record downpour there.
Other heavy falls recorded in Fiji are 26i in. in Suva in 1906, when the rain gauge overflowed and could not record any more, and 35 in. at Rarawai in 1931. The Rarawai gauge stopped recording at 35 in. because it was submerged by floods.
