### Sea Area Forecast

For the surrounding sea areas, a few showers may occur in the waters extending from**
Negombo to Galle via Colombo**. Winds will be **south-westerly**, with speeds of**
30–40 kmph**, increasing up to **50 kmph** at times in the sea areas stretching 
from **Kalpitiya to Kankasanthurai via Mannar** and from **Hambantota to Pottuvil**.

Due to these stronger winds, the sea will be **fairly rough** in the affected coastal
waters. Fishermen, naval operators, and other marine users are advised to exercise
caution when venturing into these areas. Other sea regions around Sri Lanka are 
expected to remain in comparatively calmer conditions.

Although rainfall will be limited across much of the island, residents should stay
updated with the latest weather advisories, particularly those living in windy regions
or planning marine activities. Monitoring official forecasts will help ensure safety
during changing weather conditions.
