The Department of Meteorology says prevailing showery and windy conditions over the south-western parts of the island are expected to continue today (22).
Showers will occur at times in Western and Sabaragamuwa provinces as well as in Galle, Matara, Kandy, and Nuwara-Eliya districts. A few showers may also occur in the North-western province.
Meanwhile, showers or thundershowers are likely at a few places in Uva province and in Ampara and Batticaloa districts after 2.00 p.m.
The Department also warns of fairly strong winds of 30–40 kmph at times over the western slopes of the central hills, and in Central, Northern, North-Central, and North-Western provinces and in Trincomalee and Hambantota districts.
The public is urged to take necessary precautions to minimize damages caused by lightning and temporary localized strong winds during thundershowers.
