Showery Conditions to Continue Across Several Provinces on January 12
Showery and thundershower activity is expected to continue across many parts of Sri Lanka today (January 12), according to the Department of Meteorology. Showers or thundershowers will occur at times in the Northern, North-Central, Uva, Eastern and Central provinces, as well as in the Hambantota district. Fairly heavy rainfall exceeding 50 mm is likely at some locations in the Eastern and Uva provinces.
Elsewhere in the island, showers or thundershowers may develop after 1.00 p.m., particularly affecting the North-Western, Western and Sabaragamuwa provinces. In these areas, fairly heavy rainfall of around 75 mm can be expected at isolated places.
During the early morning hours, misty conditions are likely in parts of the Western, Sabaragamuwa and Central provinces, including the Galle, Matara and Kurunegala districts, which may reduce visibility.
The public is advised to remain vigilant and take necessary precautions against temporary localized strong winds and lightning that may accompany thundershowers throughout the day.
