## Fairly Rough Seas and Showers Forecast Around Sri Lanka’s Coastal Waters

The Department of Meteorology has issued a **marine weather advisory** for sea areas
around Sri Lanka, warning of **showers, gusty winds, and fairly rough sea conditions**
during the next 24 hours.

**showers are expected at several locations in the sea areas off the coast extending
from Kankasanthurai to Hambantota via Trincomalee**. In addition, **showers or thundershowers
may occur at a few places in other surrounding sea areas**, particularly during 
unstable weather periods.

**Winds over the coastal waters will be northerly to north-easterly**, with speeds
generally ranging between **30 and 40 kmph**. However, wind speeds may **increase
up to 45 kmph at times** in the sea areas **from Puttalam to Galle via Colombo**,
creating challenging conditions for marine activities.

The **sea state** in the coastal belt **from Puttalam to Galle via Colombo** is 
expected to be **fairly rough at times**, while **other sea areas around the island
will remain moderate**.

Meteorologists further caution that **temporarily strong gusty winds and very rough
seas may occur during thundershowers**, posing potential risks to **small fishing
vessels and naval activities**.

The Department of Meteorology advises **fishermen and naval communities to exercise
caution**, closely monitor official weather updates, and avoid venturing into affected
sea areas during periods of rough weather.
