Fairly heavy showers exceeding 50 mm are expected in parts of the Central, Sabaragamuwa, and Uva provinces, as well as in the Ampara district. Showers may also occur in the Northern and Eastern provinces in the morning.
Misty conditions are expected in parts of the Central, Sabaragamuwa, and Western provinces, and in the Galle and Matara districts, in the morning.
The public is requested to take appropriate precautions to minimise damage from temporary, localised strong winds and lightning during thundershowers.
