Showers or thundershowers will occur in the other areas of the island after 1.00 pm.
Fairly heavy falls above 75 mm are likely at some places in the Western, Sabaragamuwa, Central, Southern and Uva provinces and in the Ampara and Batticaloa districts.
Meanwhile, showers or thundershowers will occur at several places in the sea areas off the coast extending from Pottuvil to Mannar via Trincomalee and Kankasanthurai.
Showers or thundershowers will occur at several places in other sea areas around the island during the afternoon or night.
