The BMC's Disaster Management Department confirmed that the tidal peak is anticipated early Saturday morning, December 6, at 12:39 a.m., when wave heights could reach 5.03 metres.
Given that water levels above 4.5 metres pose significant risks of strong surges and coastal flooding, the civic body has strongly advised residents to exercise extreme caution and refrain from going near the sea during the high tide hours.
