The Department of Meteorology says showers or thundershowers will occur at several places in most parts of Sri Lanka after 2.00 pm.

Fairly heavy showers above 75 mm are likely at some places in the Western, Sabaragamuwa, Eastern and Uva provinces and in the Kandy, Nuwara-Eliya, Galle, Matara, Mannar and Jaffna districts.

A few showers may occur in coastal areas of Western and Southern provinces in the Jaffna and Mannar districts during the morning too. 

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

Meanwhile, showers or thundershowers will occur at several places in the sea areas around the island.

Winds will be south-westerly over the sea area around the island and wind speed will be 25-35 kmph. Wind speed may increase up to 45-50 kmph at times in the sea areas off the coast extending from Colombo to Pottuvil via Galle and Hambanthota. 

The sea areas off the coast extending from Colombo to Pottuvil via Galle and Hambanthota will be fairly rough at times. The other sea areas around the island will be slight to moderate. Temporarily strong gusty winds and very rough seas can be expected during thundershowers.
