### **Weather Forecast for Sea Areas**

Showers or thundershowers may occur at several places in the sea areas extending
from Chilaw to Matara via Colombo and Galle during the next 24 hours.

Winds around the island will be south-westerly with speeds ranging between 30 and
40 kmph. Stronger winds of 50 to 60 kmph are expected at times in the sea areas 
off the coast from Matara to Pottuvil via Hambantota. Meanwhile, wind speeds may
increase up to 50 kmph in the sea areas extending from Trincomalee to Matara via
Kankasanthurai, Mullaitivu, Kalpitiya, Colombo, and Galle.

Due to these conditions, the sea areas from Matara to Pottuvil via Hambantota will
be rough at times, while sea areas from Trincomalee to Matara via Kankasanthurai,
Mullaitivu, Kalpitiya, Colombo, and Galle will be fairly rough.

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