The National Building Research Organization (NBRO) has issued early warnings for potential landslides in the districts of Badulla, Galle, Ratnapura, and Kegalle.
Residents in these areas are urged to remain vigilant and monitor for signs of imminent landslides, such as sudden water sprouts, cracks in walls, and fissures in the soil.
The Department of Meteorology has forecasted heavy rainfall, estimating up to 100 mm, across the Western, Central, Sabaragamuwa, and Eastern provinces over the next 36 hours.
This prediction comes as part of a weather statement highlighting the turbulent atmospheric conditions developing in the lower atmosphere near Sri Lanka, which are expected to bring increased rainfall to the island.
Authorities are advising residents in the affected districts to take necessary precautions and stay alert to any changes in their environment to ensure their safety during this period of adverse weather.
