Showers and thundershowers are likely in several areas across the island, the Department of Meteorology said. The Western, Sabaragamuwa, and North-Western provinces, as well as the Kandy, Nuwara-Eliya, Galle, and Matara districts, are expected to experience rain at various times.
Showers and thundershowers are also likely in the Uva province, along with the Ampara and Batticaloa districts, during the evening or night.
Strong winds, ranging between 40 to 50 kmph, are anticipated over the Western slopes of the central hills, as well as in the Northern, North-Central, and North-Western provinces. Winds are also expected in the Hambantota, Monaragala, and Trincomalee districts.
The general public is advised to take necessary precautions to minimize potential damages caused by temporary localized strong winds and lightning during thundershowers. (Newswire)
