October 13, 2022 at 7:47 PM

The low-level atmospheric disturbance still
persists in the vicinity of the island.

Therefore, the prevailing showery condition
is expected to continue (southwest quarter)
during next 24 hours.

Showers or thundershowers will occur at times
in Western, Sabaragamuwa, Central, Southern
and North-Western provinces. Very heavy
showers about 150 mm can be expected at
some places in these provinces. Fairly heavy
showers above 75 mm can be expected
elsewhere in the island.

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