Showers or thundershowers are expected to occur at several places in the Western and Sabaragamuwa provinces after 2.00 p.m. today. Similar conditions are also likely in the districts of Galle, Matara, Kandy, Nuwara Eliya, and Puttalam. These afternoon and evening showers may be accompanied by temporary localized strong winds and lightning, and the public is advised to take necessary precautions to minimize potential damages.
In contrast, mainly fair weather will prevail over most other parts of the island, providing relatively stable conditions outside the affected regions. During the early hours of the morning, misty conditions can be expected in parts of the Central, Sabaragamuwa, Uva, and North-Central provinces, as well as in the Galle, Matara, and Kurunegala districts. Motorists are urged to be cautious due to possible reduced visibility.
