Tanzania's weather authorities on Monday issued a warning for periods of strong winds exceeding 40 kilometers per hour and waves exceeding 2 meters in the Indian Ocean, triggered by the presence of a moderate tropical storm called Ialy north of Madagascar Island.

The Tanzania Meteorological Authority (TMA) warned that strong winds and large waves are expected to last three days from Sunday to Tuesday, adding that rain periods are likely to be observed over the coastal areas, particularly between Tuesday and Wednesday.
