Showers or thundershowers are expected at several places in the Western, Sabaragamuwa, Southern and Uva provinces after 2.00 p.m. Similar weather conditions will also affect the Kandy and Nuwara Eliya districts during the afternoon or evening hours. These showers may be accompanied by temporary localized strong winds and lightning, and the public is advised to take necessary precautions to reduce possible damages.
Meanwhile, mainly dry weather will prevail across most other parts of the island throughout the day. During the early morning hours, misty conditions can be expected in parts of the Central, Sabaragamuwa and Uva provinces, as well as in the Ampara district.
Due to the apparent northward movement of the sun, it is currently positioned directly over parts of Sri Lanka. Today, areas such as Nagawilluwa, Galgamuwa, Sigiriya, Palugasdamana and Mankerni will experience overhead sun around 12:11 p.m.
