Showers are expected in some provinces today, with fairly heavy falls of about 50 mm likely at some places, according to the Department of Meteorology.
Accordingly, showers will occur at times in the Western, Sabaragamuwa and North-western provinces and the Nuwara-Eliya, Kandy, Galle and Matara districts.
A few showers may occur in the Anuradhapura and Matale districts. Showers or thundershowers may occur at a few places in the Uva and Eastern provinces during the afternoon or night.
Fairly strong winds of about 30-40 kmph can be expected at times over the Western slopes of the central hills and in the Northern, North-Central and North-western provinces and the Trincomalee and Hambantota districts.
The public is requested to take adequate precautions to minimize damage caused by temporary localized strong winds and lightning during thundershowers. (Newswire)
