Indian National Centre for Ocean Information Services (INCOIS) has predicted swell waves having 1.7 to 2.4-metre height along the Kerala Coast on Thursday.
In the wake of the warning, Kerala State Disaster Management Authority has warned the fishermen at deep sea over these areas to return to respective coasts by Saturday.
