Severe Weather Warning Issued for Fishing Communities in Northern Andhra Pradesh
The Department of Meteorology has issued a 'red' alert warning for fishing and maritime communities navigating the Bay of Bengal, due to the development of a deep depression over Northern Andhra Pradesh. The conditions at sea are expected to become extremely rough as a result.
Additionally, an 'amber' alert remains in effect, indicating the potential for heavy rainfall exceeding 100 millimeters in several areas across the country.
According to the Meteorology Department's Natural Disaster Early Warning Centre, the deep depression is currently located approximately 1,100 kilometers east of Kankesanturai, with implications for the region's weather patterns.
Wind speeds in coastal areas between latitudes 10° and 22° and longitudes 82° and 90° could reach up to 70 kilometers per hour at times, possibly accompanied by thunderstorms and torrential rain, leading to extremely rough seas.
Authorities have strongly urged fishermen and sailors to avoid venturing into the affected maritime areas until further notice. Those currently operating in the vicinity are advised to leave immediately.
Meanwhile, the Department of Meteorology forecasts that heavy rainfall exceeding 100 millimeters is likely in certain locations across the Western, Sabaragamuwa, Central, North Western, and Southern provinces, amid the prevailing rainy weather conditions on the island.
The department is calling on the public and fishing communities to take precautions against potential dangers from lightning and strong winds, and to stay vigilant regarding forthcoming weather forecasts.
