The Department of Meteorology says showers are expected in several areas of Sri Lanka today (28).
The department said several spells of light showers will occur in the Northern, North-Central, Eastern and Uva provinces.
Showers or thundershowers will occur at a few places in the Western, Sabaragamuwa and NorthWestern provinces and in the Galle and Matara districts during the afternoon or night.
The public is requested to take adequate precautions to minimise damages caused by temporary localized strong winds and lightning during thundershowers.
Meanwhile, a few showers will occur in the sea areas off the coast extending from Trincomalee to Pottuvil via Batticaloa.
The Met Department said showers or thundershowers may occur at a few places elsewhere during the afternoon or night.
Winds will be north-easterly and wind speed will be 25-35 kmph, while the sea areas around the island will be slight. (NewsWire)
