The deep depression over the southwest Bay of Bengal was located about 110 km East of Batticaloa at 7.00 p.m. on 9 January 2026. It is very likely to move northwestwards and cross the Sri Lanka coast between Trincomalee and Jaffna between 11:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. tomorrow (10 January 2026).

Cloudy skies can be expected over the Southern half of the island.

Showers or thundershowers will occur at times in Northern province and in Anuradhapura and Trincomalee districts. 

Heavy falls above 100 mm are likely at some places in the Northern province.

Several spells of showers may occur in the North-Western, Central, and Uva provinces and in Polonnaruwa and Batticaloa districts.

Showers or thundershowers may occur at a few places elsewhere during evening or night.

Very strong winds about (50-60) kmph and gusting up to 70 kmph can be expected at times over Northern and North-central provinces and in Trincomalee district. 

Fairly strong winds about (40-50) kmph can be expected at times over North-western, Central, Uva, and Western provinces.

The general public is kindly requested to take adequate precautions to minimize damages caused by temporary localized strong winds and lightning during thundershowers.
