The Meteorology Department reports that the prevailing showery conditions are expected to persist today in the south-western part of the island.
Showers will occur intermittently in the Western, Sabaragamuwa, and North-Western provinces, as well as in the Kandy, Nuwara-Eliya, Galle, and Matara districts.
Showers or thundershowers may also develop in a few areas within the Uva province and the Ampara and Batticaloa districts during the evening or night.
Strong winds ranging from 40-50 km/h are anticipated over the western slopes of the central hills, Northern, North-Central, and North-Western provinces, and in the Trincomalee, Hambantota, and Monaragala districts.
The general public is kindly advised to take adequate precautions to minimize damage from temporary localized strong winds and lightning during thundershowers.
