The Sri Lanka Department of Meteorology has warned that a low-pressure area may 
develop over the southeastern Bay of Bengal by 13 October 2026, potentially bringing
increased rainfall across the island and surrounding sea areas over the coming days.

According to a special weather bulletin issued by the Department’s Natural Hazards
Early Warning Centre at 11.00 a.m. on 12 October 2026, the developing weather system
could influence rainfall conditions across Sri Lanka and nearby deep and shallow
sea areas.

### Low Chance of Depression Formation in the Next Five Days

The Department’s latest assessment indicates that the probability of the system 
developing into a depression remains low during the next 120 hours.

The bulletin reports no likelihood of cyclogenesis during the first 120 hours of
the 168-hour forecast period. The probability is classified as low only during the
final 24 hours, covering the period from 144 to 168 hours ahead.

Although the system is not currently expected to develop rapidly, changing conditions
over the Bay of Bengal could affect the island’s weather in the coming days.

### Public Urged to Monitor Weather Updates

The Department of Meteorology has advised the public, along with naval and fishing
communities, to remain attentive to future weather forecasts and official bulletins.

Residents and those working at sea are encouraged to follow updates from the Department
as the weather system develops.
