The low-level atmospheric disturbance over the southwest Bay of Bengal and Sri Lanka has intensified into a low-pressure area by today morning (November 25).

The general public is kindly requested to be attentive about future advisories issued by the Department of Meteorology in this regard.

Cloudy skies can be expected over most parts of the island.

Very heavy falls about 150 mm are likely at some places in Eastern, Central, and Uva provinces and in Polonnaruwa and district. Heavy falls above 100 mm are likely at some places in the other areas of the island.

Strong winds of about 50 kmph can be expected at times over Northern, North-central, North- western and Eastern provinces and in Hambantota and Matale districts. Fairly strong winds of about 40 kmph may occur at times in other areas over the island.

The general public is kindly requested to take adequate precautions to minimize damages caused by strong winds and lightning.
