The Department of Meteorology says the prevailing showery and windy condition over the island is expected to slightly enhance during today and the next few days.

Showers or thundershowers will occur at times in the Western, Sabaragamuwa, and North-Western provinces and in the Kandy, Nuwara-Eliya, Galle, and Matara districts. 

Heavy showers above 100 mm may occur at some places in these areas, while several spells of showers may occur in the Anuradhapura district.

The department further said showers or thundershowers will occur at a few places in the Ampara and Batticaloa districts during the evening or night. 

Strong winds of about (40-50) kmph can be expected at times on the western slope of the central hills, Northern, North-Central, and North-Western provinces and in the Trincomalee and Hambantota districts.

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