The Andaman and Nicobar administration has declared a high alert across the archipelago as the Southwest Monsoon arrives in full force. The region is experiencing heavy, sustained rainfall and dangerous thunderstorms. A formal advisory strongly urges fishermen to suspend all maritime activities immediately due to hazardous sea conditions, high swell waves, and unpredictable wind speeds.
Residents in low-lying areas are advised to prepare for potential flooding, while emergency services remain on standby for any weather-related incidents. The severe conditions are expected to persist for several days, disrupting daily life and inter-island transport.
