The Solomon Islands Meteorological Service (SIMS) on Friday morning, June 12 issued strong wind warning number fourteen.

This strong wind warning is said to be current for all waters of Solomon Islands.

SIMS said the situation is that a trough lies just north of the Solomon Islands while a general southeasterly wind flow persists south of the trough.

Southeast winds are also expected to reach 20 to 25 knots over all waters in the country and seas will be moderate to rough with moderate southeasterly swells of 2.5 to 3.0 meters.

Poor visibility in rain showers and thunderstorm areas is also expected.

SIMS urges people in these areas to take precautionary measures as such strong winds have the potential to impact lives and properties.

Meanwhile, sea travellers are also urged to consider safety actions as such winds can produce dangerous wave conditions which are hazardous to small boats.

SIMS encourages that this information be also shared to people with disabilities.
