The general public is kindly advised to take adequate precautions to minimize damage caused by lightning during thundershowers, as atmospheric conditions are conducive to afternoon thundershowers across most parts of the island.
Showers or thundershowers are expected in many areas during the evening and night.
Heavy rainfall exceeding 100 mm is likely in some locations within the Central, Uva, and Sabaragamuwa provinces, as well as in the Kurunegala district.
