The Maldives Meteorological Service (MET Office) has issued a cautionary notice about strong winds and rough seas expected to persist for the next six days.
A depression in the Bay of Bengal is anticipated to intensify and move towards Tamil Nadu and Sri Lanka over the next 24 hours, while a low-pressure area is currently positioned over the far southeast of the Maldives. These combined systems will contribute to adverse weather conditions starting Wednesday and continuing for five days.
- Southern Atolls: Winds are forecasted at 15-25 mph.
- Central and Northern Atolls: Winds are expected at 13-23 mph.
Safety Measures:
- Seafarers: Exercise extreme caution during these conditions, avoid unnecessary travel, and ensure safety equipment is in place.
- Public: Secure loose items around homes, stay informed on weather updates, and take necessary precautions against the effects of strong winds.
Stay vigilant and prioritize safety during this period of challenging weather.
