Rainfall will continue for a few more days. The Department of Meteorology warns that cloudy skies are expected in most parts of the island due to the low-level atmospheric disturbance in the vicinity of Sri Lanka.
Showers or thundershowers will occur at times in Western, Sabaragamuwa, Central, Southern, and North-Western provinces.
Heavy showers above 100 mm can be expected at some places in Western, Sabaragamuwa, and Central provinces and Galle and Matara districts.
Showers or thundershowers will occur elsewhere over the Island during the afternoon or night.
Fairly heavy showers of above 75 mm can be expected in some places.
The general public is kindly requested to take adequate precautions to minimize damages caused by temporary localized strong winds and lightning during thundershowers.
Condition of Rain:
Showers or thundershowers will occur at several places in the sea areas around the island.
Heavy showers may occur at several places in the deep and shallow sea areas extending from Puttalam to Pottuvil via Colombo, Galle, and Hambantota.
Winds:
Winds will be south-westerly and wind speed will be (25-35) kmph.
A sudden increase of wind speed (up to 60-70 kmph) is expected in the sea areas extending from Puttalam to Pottuvil via Colombo, Galle, and Hambantota due to active cloudiness in the sea area to the south-west and south-east of Sri Lanka.
State of Sea:
The sea areas off the coast extending from Puttalam to Pottuvil via Colombo, Galle, and Hambantota will be fairly rough at times.
The possibility for sudden roughness, associated with a sudden increase in wind speed due to active cloudiness in the sea area from Puttalam to Pottuvil via Colombo, Galle, and Hambantota is high.
In the above-sea areas, the naval and fishing communities are asked to be careful about this.
