According to SIMS, a general easterly trade wind flow continues to dominate the weather pattern over the Solomon Islands.

Southeast winds are expected to reach 20 to 25 knots across most waters.

Seas are forecasted to be moderate to rough, with swells reaching up to 2.5 meters.

SIMS warn that such conditions could pose risks to lives and properties, particularly for those traveling at sea.
