The Department of Meteorology announces that atmospheric conditions are becoming favorable for evening thundershowers in several parts of the country over the next few days.
Weather Forecast for September 07, 2025
According to the forecast, showers or thundershowers may occur after 2.00 p.m. in Northern, North-Central, Eastern, and Uva provinces. A few showers are also expected in Western and Sabaragamuwa provinces, as well as in Galle, Matara, Kandy, and Nuwara-Eliya districts.
Meanwhile, the sun will be directly overhead at several locations in the Southern Province tomorrow (07), including Mirissa, Kamburugamuwa, Matara, Dondra, Gandara, and Talalla, at around 12.08 p.m. This is due to the apparent southward relative motion of the sun, which passes over Sri Lanka between August 28 and September 07.
