The coastal areas of Kerala and Tamil Nadu are expected to experience the ‘kallakkadal’ phenomenon—sudden sea swells causing rough waves and high tides—until 11:30 PM on Monday, according to the weather agency. The Indian National Centre for Ocean Information Services (INCOIS) issued an alert on Sunday to fishermen and coastal residents about the potential sea surge.
INCOIS, the central agency responsible for issuing weather warnings for fishermen in the country, has advised fishermen to safely moor their vessels in the harbor. Coastal residents living in accident-prone areas have been urged to relocate to safer locations due to the possible danger. The agency also recommended that people completely avoid traveling to beaches and venturing into the sea during this period
