Met Office urges to exercise caution over expected bad weather

The Department of Meteorology has advised people to exercise caution as heavy rains, strong winds and rough seas are expected over the next three hours.

The Met Office said that people travelling in central and northern atolls should be extra careful, and all frequent travellers should also exercise caution.

The Met Office weather forecast says that heavy rain and strong winds are expected all over the country over the next 24 hours, and rough seas are expected over the next three hours.
