Mr Tahani emphasised the importance of weather updates and said Solomon Islanders should listen to their radios as weather conditions were unpredictable.
“You may remember in 1986 we had cyclone Namu, which caused huge devastation,” Mr Tahani said.
“The wet season can lag. So we cannot say for sure that the wet season will end at the end of April.”
