In addition, showers or thundershowers may also occur in the Western, Sabaragamuwa, Central, North-Western, and Southern provinces, as well as in the Ampara district, during the morning hours.
The public is advised to take necessary precautions to minimize damages caused by temporary strong winds and lightning that may accompany thundershowers.
Marine Weather Forecast
Showers or thundershowers are also expected in several sea areas around the island. Winds will be westerly or north-westerly, with speeds ranging from 20 to 30 kmph. Wind speeds may increase up to 40 kmph at times in the sea areas off the coast extending from Colombo to Hambantota via Galle.
The sea areas off the coast from Colombo to Hambantota via Galle will be moderately rough, while other sea areas around the island are expected to remain slight. However, temporarily strong gusty winds and very rough seas may occur during thundershowers.
The Department urges naval and fishing communities to remain vigilant and take necessary safety measures.
