The three-hour alert states that these islands will experience heavy and rain with thunder storms. The MET Office has also said that islands across the country will likely experience showers in the next 24 hours.
Surface winds are expected to gust at about 15 miles per hour at most in central atolls and 13 miles per hour at most elsewhere, the MET Office says.
