Why do some of the Fiji islands flood?

Some of the Fiji islands experience flooding due to a combination of factors including heavy rainfall, rising sea levels, and storm surges from tropical cyclones. The low-lying coastal areas are particularly vulnerable, as they can be inundated during extreme weather events. Additionally, deforestation and poor land management practices can exacerbate flooding by reducing the land's ability to absorb excess water. Climate change further intensifies these issues, leading to more frequent and severe flooding events.
