Showery weather is expected to continue across several parts of Sri Lanka on 23 
June 2026, with the Department of Meteorology forecasting showers or thundershowers
at times in the Western, Sabaragamuwa and North-Western provinces, as well as in
the districts of Galle, Matara, Kandy and Nuwara Eliya.

A few showers or thundershowers may also develop in Uva Province and Batticaloa 
District after 2.00 p.m. Residents in affected areas are advised to remain alert,
especially during the afternoon and evening hours when thunderstorm activity is 
more likely.

In addition to rainfall, fairly strong winds of 30–40 kmph can be expected at times
over the western slopes of the central hills, the Northern, North-Central, North-
Western and Southern provinces, and in Trincomalee District. The public is urged
to take necessary precautions to minimize damage caused by localized strong winds
and lightning associated with thundershowers.

### Sea Conditions Around Sri Lanka

Marine conditions are expected to remain unsettled over the next 24 hours. Showers
or thundershowers may occur at several places in the sea areas extending from Chilaw
to Matara via Colombo and Galle.

South-westerly winds will prevail with speeds of 30–40 kmph, increasing up to 50–
60 kmph at times in the sea areas from Kalpitiya to Kankasanthurai via Mannar and
from Galle to Pottuvil via Hambantota.

These sea areas are expected to be rough at times, while other surrounding sea areas
may become fairly rough. Wave heights could increase to about 2.0–2.5 metres in 
the coastal waters extending from Kalpitiya to Pottuvil via Colombo, Galle and Hambantota.

Fishermen and naval communities are advised to exercise caution, as temporarily 
strong gusty winds and very rough seas can occur during thundershowers.
