Several spells of showers are expected in the Western and Sabaragamuwa provinces,
as well as in the Galle, Matara, Kandy and Nuwara-Eliya districts. Meanwhile, showers
or thundershowers may occur at a few places in the Uva Province and in the Ampara,
Batticaloa and Hambantota districts after 2.00 p.m. Most other areas of the island
are expected to remain mainly dry.

Fairly strong winds of around 30–40 kmph may occur at times over the western slopes
of the Central hills, North-Central and North-Western provinces, as well as in Trincomalee,
Hambantota and Matale districts. The public is advised to take adequate precautions
against temporary localized strong winds and lightning during thundershowers.

A notable astronomical event will also occur on 02 September. Due to the apparent
southward movement of the Sun, it will be directly overhead Sri Lanka during the
period from 28 August to 07 September. Tomorrow, the Sun is expected to be overhead
near Anamaduwa, Moragollagama, Dambulla, Manampitiya and Valaichchenai at around
