The Maldives Meteorological Service (MMS) has urged caution as the weather is expected to be rough starting Wednesday.

The department revealed that rain showers are expected to prevail over several regions of the island nation from Wednesday onwards.

MMS further predicted that seas across the island nation are also likely to be rough, with strong winds tearing through some parts.

The department forecasted that the wave height will be from 3 – 7 feet.

Squally weather has been predicted to prevail across Maldives from Wednesday onwards, at a time the country is engulfed in festivities to commemorate this year’s Eid-al-Adha.

As such, throngs of people travelled to outlying atolls to celebrate Eid, this week.

Caution has been urged from travelers at sea, at a time people are expected to begin returning from their trips after Eid festivities wrap up in most islands this weekend.
