## **Fairly Rough Seas Expected Along Western Coast as Showers Affect Northern to Southern Sea Areas**

The Department of Meteorology has issued a **marine weather advisory** warning of**
showers and rough sea conditions** in several sea areas around Sri Lanka during 
the **next 24 hours**.

According to the forecast, **showers may occur at several places** in the sea areas
off the coast extending from **Kankasanthurai to Hambantota via Trincomalee**, affecting
large sections of the **northern, eastern, and southeastern coastal waters**. These
conditions may lead to reduced visibility at times.

**Winds are expected to be northerly to north-easterly**, with speeds ranging between**
30 and 40 kmph**. However, wind speeds could **increase up to 45 kmph at times**
in the sea areas off the coast extending from **Puttalam to Galle via Colombo**,
posing potential risks to small and medium-scale fishing vessels.

As a result, the **sea areas from Puttalam to Galle via Colombo are expected to 
be fairly rough at times**, while **other sea areas around the island will remain
moderate**.

The Department of Meteorology advises **fishing and naval communities** operating
in the affected regions to remain cautious, closely monitor weather updates, and
take necessary safety measures before venturing into the sea.

Further advisories will be issued if conditions intensify.
