Showers or thundershowers are expected to develop at several places across parts of Sri Lanka later today, particularly after 2.00 p.m. According to the forecast, these conditions will mainly affect the Western and Sabaragamuwa provinces, along with the districts of Galle, Matara, Kandy, Nuwara Eliya, and Puttalam. Residents in these areas should be prepared for occasional rainfall, with the possibility of localized strong winds and lightning during thundershowers.
Meanwhile, mainly fair weather will prevail over most other parts of the island, providing generally dry and stable conditions throughout the day.
Misty conditions are likely during the early hours of the morning in several regions, including the Central, Sabaragamuwa, Uva, and North-Central provinces, as well as in Galle, Matara, and Kurunegala districts. Drivers are advised to exercise caution due to reduced visibility in these areas.
