## **Rough Sea Conditions Expected in Several Coastal Areas Around Sri Lanka**

Rough sea conditions are expected in several sea areas around Sri Lanka during the
next 24 hours, according to the latest marine weather forecast issued by the Department
of Meteorology at 5.30 a.m. today.

Showers are likely to occur at a few locations in the sea areas off the eastern 
coastline, particularly from **Kankasanthurai to Pottuvil via Trincomalee**. These
intermittent showers may reduce visibility at sea, especially during passing rain
clouds.

The Meteorology Department reports that **north-easterly winds** will prevail across
most sea areas surrounding the island. Wind speeds are expected to range between**
30 and 40 kmph**, with **occasional gusts increasing up to 45–50 kmph**. Stronger
winds are anticipated in the sea areas extending from **Colombo to Mannar via Puttalam**,
as well as from **Hambantota to Pottuvil**.

Due to the intensified winds, the **sea state is forecast to be rough at times**
in the above-mentioned western, north-western, and south-eastern coastal waters.
Meanwhile, other sea areas around the island are expected to remain **moderate**,
offering relatively safer conditions for navigation.

The Department of Meteorology urges **fishermen, naval personnel, and small craft
operators** to exercise caution when venturing into the affected sea areas. Mariners
are advised to stay alert for updated weather bulletins and take necessary safety
measures to avoid potential hazards caused by strong winds and rough seas.

This marine advisory remains valid for the next 24 hours, and further updates will
be issued if weather conditions change significantly.
