**Weather Forecast for 06 September 2026**

Sri Lanka is expected to experience a mix of showers, thundershowers and generally
unsettled weather conditions in several parts of the island on Sunday, 06 September
2026.
Showers or thundershowers may occur at several places in the **Uva, Central
and Eastern provinces**, as well as in the **Polonnaruwa and Mullaittivu districts**,
mainly after 2.00 p.m. Fairly heavy rainfall exceeding **50 mm** is possible at 
some locations in the Uva and Eastern provinces. Residents in these areas are advised
to remain alert to rapidly developing thunderstorms and periods of intense rain.

Meanwhile, the **Western and Sabaragamuwa provinces**, together with the **Galle
and Matara districts**, are expected to experience several spells of light showers.
Although rainfall in these areas is likely to be less intense, occasional wet conditions
can be expected during the day.

The public is urged to take adequate precautions during thundershowers, particularly
against **temporary localized strong winds and lightning**. People are advised to
avoid exposed outdoor areas and take appropriate safety measures whenever thunderstorms
develop.

An important astronomical feature will also occur during this period. Due to the
apparent southward movement of the Sun, it will be directly overhead Sri Lanka between**
28 August and 07 September**. On 06 September, the Sun will be overhead near **Bentota,
Thiniyawala, Iththakanda, Udawalawe and Kataragama** at approximately **12.08 p.
m.**

**Sea Weather Forecast**

For the next 24 hours, showers may occur in sea areas extending from **Chilaw to
Matara via Colombo and Galle**. Showers or thundershowers may develop in several
locations from **Mullaittivu to Pottuvil via Trincomalee and Batticaloa**, particularly
during the evening or night.

Southwesterly winds are expected at **30–40 kmph**, while speeds may occasionally
increase up to **55 kmph** in the sea areas from **Hambantota to Pottuvil** and 
from **Kankasanthurai to Puttalam via Mannar**.

These sea areas may become **fairly rough at times**, with temporarily strong gusty
winds and very rough seas possible during thundershowers. Mariners and fishing communities
are therefore advised to remain cautious and monitor weather updates.
