“Population in those areas should take precautionary measures as such strong winds have the potential to impact lives and properties.
“Sea travellers are urged to consider safety actions as such winds can produce dangerous wave conditions which are hazardous to small boats,” Solomon Islands Meteorological Services said.
Solomon Islands Meteorological Services kindly ask the public to inform those with disabilities about this information.
This afternoon at 4:00 p.m., there will be another strong wind advisory issued.
