Swell waves likely along coast of Thiruvananthapuram on Tuesday

The National Centre for Oceanographic Studies and Research (INCOIS) has issued alerts to fishermen and coastal residents in Thiruvanathapuram district, predicting the 'kallakkadal' phenomenon on Tuesday. This phenomenon, characterized by sudden sea swell, is expected to cause rough waves along the coasts from Kappil to Pozhiyur, with wave heights ranging from 1.0 to 1.6 meters.

Additionally, there is a likelihood of waves 1.4 to 1.5 meters high along Kanyakumari's coast till 11.30 pm. INCOIS advises vigilance and avoidance of vulnerable areas, urging people to stay away from the sea and refrain from activities such as beach recreation, small vessel operation, and fishing vessel berthing until the warning is lifted.

The district administration has also warned of potential coastal erosion and emphasized the need for special care.
