A warning has been issued by the Natural Hazards Early Warning Centre for strong winds and rough seas affecting multi-day boats in the Bay of Bengal. The advisory, released at 5:00 PM on September 18, 2026, is valid for the next 24 hours. The atmospheric disturbance to the north of the Andaman Islands in the Bay of Bengal is expected to evolve into a low pressure system within the next 24 hours.
This development will result in an increase in wind speed over the sea areas covered under the "Advisory" category. Wind speeds are projected to surge to between 55-65 kmph at certain intervals, causing the seas to become rough, at times very rough. The naval and fishing communities operating in these sea areas are strongly urged to stay vigilant, closely monitor future forecasts, and heed any additional bulletins released by the Department of Meteorology.
