Heavy showers above 100 mm expected in several areas

The low-pressure area located around Sri Lanka is moving away from the island. However, atmospheric conditions are still favourable for the formation of evening thundershowers over the island.

Showers or thundershowers will occur at several places over most parts of the island during the evening or night. Showers or thundershowers may occur in the Western, Southern, and Northern provinces during the morning too.

Heavy showers above 100 mm can be expected at some places in the Western, Sabaragamuwa, North-western, Central, and North-central provinces and in Galle and Matara districts.

General public is kindly requested to take adequate precautions to minimize damages caused by temporary localized strong winds and lightning during thundershowers.
