Rainy weather forecast today
Due to a low level atmospheric disturbance in the vicinity of Sri Lanka, rainy weather is expected over most parts of the island today (27), says the Department of Meteorology.
Showers will occur at times in the Northern, Eastern, North-Central, Uva, Central and North-Western provinces.
Heavy showers of more than 100 mm can be expected at some places.
Cloudy skies can be expected elsewhere and showers or thundershowers will occur at several places.
Fairly heavy showers of more than 75 mm can be expected at some places in these areas particularly in the evening or night.
The Department requests the public to take adequate precautions to minimize damages caused by temporary localized strong winds and lightning during thundershowers.
