The strong winds with a speed of 40-50kph and waves measuring 3.5 metres high are expected to continue until Nov 29.

“The strong wind conditions are expected to occur in the waters of Kelantan, Terengganu, Pahang, east Johor, Sarawak, Federal Territory of Labuan, Sabah (Interior, West Coast and Kudat), and Tioman.

“Other areas affected are the waters of Samui (Kelantan and Terengganu), Condore and Reef North (in the South China Sea) , Pulau Layang-layang, Bunguran (between the peninsula and Kuching), Reef South (throughout Sarawak waters) and Palawan (north Sabah),” the department said in a statement today.

The strong wind conditions and the choppy seas would pose a danger to all coastal activities and small boats.
