The Natural Hazards Early Warning Centre of the Meteorology Department has issued a heat index, stating that the North-Central and Eastern Provinces, as well as Vavuniya, Mullaitivu, and Moneragala districts, will be affected.
The advisory cautions that people may suffer from heat cramps, exhaustion, and even heatstroke if they continue to engage in activities under the hot sun.
