People living along the coast are warned to take precaution when going out to sea following the strong winds causing rough seas and high wind waves.
Forecaster Percy Haruku urges all small crafts and boats to take necessary precautions before going out to sea.
Coastal villagers are also warned to avoid traveling long distances by boat or dinghy and also going out fishing during this time of strong winds.
These strong winds will continue to affect all coastal waters of Southern PNG through Torres Strait, Daru, Kerema and all islands of Milne Bay.
