"Shipping and air transportation activities are still safe."Manado (ANTARA News) - The waves in Sangihe and Talaud regencies, North Sulawesi, reached a height of up to two meters.
"We estimated that the waves reached a height of 0.75 to two meters. It is therefore hoped that fishermen with small boats need to be very careful," forecasting official of the Sam Ratulangi Meteorology Station of the Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency of North Sulawesi Nurhadi said in Manado Friday.

It is only that in Sulawesi Sea the waves are smaller, only 0.5 to 1.25 meters.
Nurhadi said the sky in the regency/municipality for the whole day is mostly cloudy with rain in the afternoon.

"With the wind blowing like this shipping and air transportation activities are still safe," he said.
