## Sri Lanka Sea Weather Update: Fairly Rough Seas and Strong Winds Expected Around Several Coastal Areas

Issued at 2.00 p.m. on 27 December 2025
Mariners and coastal communities around 
Sri Lanka are advised to remain vigilant as **unsettled sea conditions** are expected
during the **next 24 hours**, according to the latest forecast issued by the Department
of Meteorology.

**Showers** are likely at a few places in the sea areas off the coast extending 
from **Mannar to Pottuvil via Kankasanthurai and Trincomalee**. In addition, **showers
or thundershowers** may occur at a few locations in the sea areas off the coast 
from **Kalutara to Hambantota via Galle**, particularly during the **evening or 
night**.

**North-easterly winds** will prevail over the sea areas around the island, with
wind speeds generally ranging between **30 and 40 kmph**. However, wind speeds may**
increase up to 45–50 kmph at times**, especially in the sea areas off the coast 
extending from **Colombo to Kankasanthurai via Puttalam** and from **Matara to Pottuvil
via Hambantota**.

As a result, the **sea areas off the coast from Colombo to Kankasanthurai via Puttalam
and from Matara to Pottuvil via Hambantota** are expected to be **fairly rough at
times**. Other sea areas around the island will remain **moderate**.

The Department of Meteorology urges **fishermen and naval communities** operating
in the affected sea regions to **exercise extreme caution**, especially during periods
of increased winds and thundershowers.
