The Department of Meteorology says cloudy skies are expected in most parts of the island as the low-level atmospheric disturbance still persists in the vicinity of Sri Lanka.
Thereby, showers or thundershowers will sometimes occur in the Western, Sabaragamuwa, Central, Southern, and North-Western provinces.
Heavy showers of about 100 mm can be expected in the Western, Sabaragamuwa, Central, and North-Western provinces and in the Galle and Matara districts.
Showers or thundershowers will occur elsewhere over the Island during the afternoon or night, while fairly heavy rains above 75 mm can be expected in some places.
The public has been requested to take adequate precautions to minimize damages caused by temporary localized strong winds and lightning during thundershowers.
The Met Department also said showers or thundershowers will occur at several places in the sea areas around the island.
Winds will be south-westerly and wind speed will be 25-35 kmph. Wind speed may increase up to 40-45 kmph at times in the sea areas off the coast extending from Galle to Pottuvil via Matara and Hambantota.
The sea areas off the coast extending from Galle to Pottuvil via Matara and Hambantota will be fairly rough at times.
The department said temporarily strong gusty winds and very rough seas can be expected during thundershowers. (NewsWire)
